Good God, was this woman doing it on purpose? When he looked at her reaction, he thought maybe she was. Her teasing and prodding tempted him to make some of his own jokes but he thought Byanka might kill him if he did. However, he could not help himself entirely. "Yes, indeed, Sarah brings up a...

Julian fetched the lemonade and made his way back through the crowd to Byanka and Arbok. Had more people arrived? It felt more crowded, and he had to be extra careful not to spill any drinks. He made it back to their little table safely, this time without any adoring fans asking for his...

Julian smiled at Arbok and Byanka. "Hear hear," he replied, raising his own glass of lemonade. Byanka raised hers as well and Julian would tap his glass to Arbok's and Byanka's. While everyone else was getting drunk and toasting with booze, the three of them were toasting with perfect lemonade...

Julian's smirk stretched and he leaned forward towards the two girls a bit, his elbows resting on the table. "I don't think myself perfect, Arbok, I know," He leaned back, glad to see a smile on both Byanka's and Arbok's faces. Even if he hadn't gotten first, and even besides Byanka's sad...

Julian was glad Byanka finally looked at him, though it wasn't for long. It occurred to him that she could likely get a bare sense of what he was thinking, and he reeled back the sadness and pity in case she didn't want any pity. Some people were particular about that sort of thing, and he...

Julian stilled as he listened to Byanka reply to Arbok. He knew Byanka was shy and self-conscious, but the idea that she wanted entirely to cut her hair to get other people to notice her made him unbelievably sad. It made a little bit more sense now why she seemed to flourish under his...

Julian fetched the lemonade for Arbok. Unfortunately, it was a ways off, but it gave Byanka time to catch up with Arbok, which he was glad for. However, he had been approached by an eager looking young woman who had asked if he would please sign her face with her lipstick. He might have said...

Julian's smile never faltered as Byanka waved over Arbok. He could not help but being glad she was more outgoing. Or at least more outgoing than she had been when they had first met. "Thank you," he replied to Arbok, nodding his head at her. He noticed she was fidgeting incessantly with her...

If it had been anyone but Byanka, Julian would have thought her comment was sarcastic, meant to jab at him for not getting first, and then he would make an equally sarcastic comment in response. But it was Byanka, and he knew she meant it. "Thanks," he grinned, nudging her with his shoulder...

Julian was not drinking anything but he still managed to choke. He placed a fist to chest and cleared his throat deeply. His gaze snapped to Byanka, who had squeaked in surprise. Her face was now a deep shade of red. "Sarah, it's not like that-" Byanka started, her voice small and tight. "No...

Julian raised an eyebrow. He knew some of the witches of Crobhear lake could control the weather, but he had never met a giant who could as well. "Impressive," he replied, and meant it. He certainly couldn't control the weather. "I am a Knight of Anathaeum, and I can manipulate the earth and...

Julian mulled over what the two women had called him in rather rapid succession. Sarah had called him a little man (oh the pain) and then Byanka had called him a friend (better than an enemy he supposed). But then Sarah spoke once more and Julian could not help but chuckle. "Anything I've done...

Julian took a step back. A very, very tall woman with a very large, very sharp blade was blocking Byanka from his view and pointing her weapon at his chest. And worst of all, she called him "little man". He didn't know if he would ever recover from this blow to his ego. He was about to defend...

Julian had recently discovered what Byanka was dealing with outside of the KOA, and had become an eager shoulder to lean on. Her father, Lord of a swath of land outside the Vale had died, and he'd left no legitimate heirs behind to take up his mantle, and so it fell upon Byanka, who of course...

Julian could not believe his luck. First runner up?!? Second place?!??! While he would've liked to have been champion, he could settle for second. He still got some pretty awesome prizes, along with the awe-struck gazes of many a knight. Byanka was still nearby and despite herself, she was...
