Calm Before the Storm

"I... I changed my mind!" Thomas turned to the Knights as the staff ran out to stop him, pleading for the men to stop. "You have to drag me out by force." The young man stepped away as Sir Leo and Sir Percival glanced at each other in shock.

"You're coming with us, and that's that!" Leo bellowed as he reached for the large axe - but soon found a little girl with a spear pointed right at him.

"Get out of here, or else I'm going to stick this spear up your fat butt if you try to take Master Thomas away!" Cecile exclaimed.

Juan and Muto soon joined her, fist raises.

"I'm the Bujitsu Master of the Castle - it's going to be costly!" "Muto's not letting you go with Thomas!"

Soon the portly Sebastian and the older Martha stood to form the circle around the two knights.

"Well, never did like your types barging in whenever you please. This is my home!"

Suddenly the sunken-eyed library seemed to appear from nowhere, tapping the bigger of the two knights on the shoulder. "... Please leave." Eike whispered in a raspy, deep tone.

"Leo -" Percival remarked, trying to conceal a smile as the timid young man now looked at them with such a stern expression on his face. "Come on, let's go."

"What?"

"We're Knights, if you swing your Axe around, you're going to hit some innocent folks." The spike-haired man stepped back, past Eike. With a grunt, the large Leo stalks off after him.

"Phew..." Juan slumped to the ground, the grass hung limply from his lips. "I was afraid he would take the bluff."

"..Th-thank you guys," Thomas started before he was suddenly hugged by Cecile, then Muto and Sebastian leaped on top of him, nearly suffocating the young man under their affections.

After giving the poor fellow some breathing room, their discussion turned to the fact that a real army will now come after them, besides the obvious planning there is the matter of the Castle itself.

"You don't have to keep that name, it's your Castle, Thomas."

"But uhm, what about the name - isn't it significant?" The young man cocked his head.

"Oh, well there's probably a reason, but the problem is that people have a hard time pronouncing Budehuc. You are our Master, so go ahead."

"Er... Let me think about it, I want it to be a good name."
