"Aye so what is it that you're wantin'?" Borthi asked, his speech thick with the slur of mead.
"I want to discuss our plans. There is to be a feast tonight, Ser Borthi hold off on the mead. Feasts have always been more your speed than Ivon's so you shall accompany me. Ser Ivon, you will stay out here and lead the men." Guyard had spent some time thinking of which man should lead, Ivon was the clear choice. Headstrong and resilient, Guyard had never had to wonder of his loyalty or complain of his results.
"Aye it'll be a proper night in any true man's eyes, food, wine, women, and killin'" Borthi said, showing his yellow teeth through his thick brown beard.
"My lord, how shall I know when to signal the men?" Ivon asked. A rational question from a rational man.
"Look out the tent flap, do you see the window just above the entrance?" Guyard asked. Ivon looked, then nodded. "Look to that window and I will signal you." Guyard had contemplated that upon arrival. "Borthi, wear your sword. If asked why you are armed tell them it is an ornament, for looks." Guyard said.
"Will that be all my lord?" Ivon asked.
"Yes my friend. By nightfall this city shall be ours."
Several hours later when the sun had finally began to set, Guyard prepared for the feast. Nobody else would be armed for combat, save the guards but none of them were knights, and by the time any of them knew what was happening Ivon's men would be inside. He made sure to hang his sword at his left side with a fashionable sheathe. As for his clothing he wore a simple red and blue doublet with a red cloak and blue pants. He also wore thick red boots to keep blood from soaking into his soles.
Outside Ser Borthi was already waiting for him. The knight had cleaned himself up as well, thank the gods, he wore a black doublet with a black cloak bearing the white sword of House roham, and white pants.
"You clean up well M'lord" Borthi said.
"Aye, you as well. Good, you've got your sword." Guyard noticed.
