A Divine Light Blesses the Knight

The summers air of x805 was warm, a light, cooling breeze flowing through the many hallways and corridors that made up the main house of the Vroman estate. All was quite, the door of the meeting room that Alistair stood in front of was made of soundproof material to prevent any sensitive information from being heard by nosey ears. While standing guard outside the door as he was asked, he noticed an increasingly familiar face approaching, though, one he had never spoken to himself; only seeing her meeting with Alice on a few occasions. Despite never meeting her in person, even a fool would know who she was, Carwen Khapree, one of the strongest and most powerful amongst the ten wizard saints. A former dark mage turned hero after her and the other saints efforts in the war against Aeternum five years ago. As a wizard saint, she embodied everything a wizard should hope to achieve, not only in the sense that the title itself carried weight but that those who wore it were regarded as not only the most powerful but upstanding wizards in all of Ishgar, the council recognizing their moral code and philosophies before granting them the honor of being one of the saints. That being said, it wasn't her title nor her incredible beauty that made her the most appealing to him, rather it was what Alice had told him about her, hearing nothing but good things about her, even though Alice had a tendency to keep her compliments neutral it only made him more interesting in getting to know the woman who had earned his hard to please cousin's respect.

When she approached, no doubt ready for her meeting with Alice, he had to stop her. He smiled to ease the tension between him and the woman who seemed to be in a bit of a hurry, "Good afternoon Miss Khapree, I'm afraid the meeting Alice is currently in has gone on a bit longer than she had expected. I apologize for any inconvenience this causes you. I don't mind keeping you company until she's ready for you if you'd like. My name is Alistair Vroman, leader of the branch family and cousin to Alice and her brother. Alice speaks highly of your skill and magical power, though, I must say she failed to mention your beauty." Alistair said, hoping his charm might win a smile from the woman before him.
