Knights of Tezoth

"A bit" earlier to his squire:

- Listen, don't go down unfamiliar paths. You know what Their Lordship told me back in the day? Something like, "this house will suit you best of all, take it from all of them at once, and don't hesitate," but they didn't explain what was what.

- So I ran into it myself. Here, look, - Vargas touches the bookshelf with his dagger, pulling it back just in time — in place of the dagger, steel snaps instantly from a pre-planned trap, biting off the hand of someone unfamiliar with the surroundings. - Get it? Ha-hah! Like — the house protects itself, no guards needed! I was really stressed at first, but then I got a taste for it. Some mad architect designed it, and since then few have lived in it! I discovered a great number of these devices, but not all, and some I forgot, to my regret. Some I added personally — there's never too many of such contraptions. So don't go where you shouldn't. And where you should — I'll sketch out for you what's safe where, in the places I've definitely checked. And otherwise — make yourself at home. You're my close one now, which means you deserve the very best. And I wouldn't want to see you reaching for the kettle and ending up without a head. My squire should keep his head on his shoulders! If not him, then who? Me, perhaps? Circumstances must prevent that in any format! I do have a couple of servants, but they're in the know.

- What am I missing, what do you think? Clearly not riding, could it be archery? Then I'll take those knives, remember how Milady tore things apart with them, and I have millions of them, a whole armory. What skill am I lacking? Healing, to patch you up if need be? But am I a doctor? Well, there was that one time, but... Maybe finish off my chameleon form in public, so to speak? In other words, what are your suggestions? - asks Lester about a plus-one skill for the squire after another sparring match, where the latter again failed to overcome a pocket knife with a sword.
