Characters: Daynar
Description: Daynar puts a ban on fire lizards and their conduct in his Hall.
Location: Smith Hall (NPC)
Date: month 8, day 18 of Turn 3
That was it! The Hallmaster had had _enough_. First that little green had nearly attacked him - well she _had_ attacked him - and then a bronze had flew right into his study in a whirl of wings, heading for the open window and a rising green one evening, knocking over a platter of 'important' works in his hurry, and then a blue flit had stolen some fruit right from his plate in the kitchen the other morning. That was enough! Calling to one of the Journeymen, he had the young man write a bold declaration, and then send apprentices all about to post it everywhere in the Hall.
***
Fire Lizards are hereby BANNED from flying free inside the halls of Smith Hall. You may not carry them with you to meals, ever. They can deliver messages, but must deliver the message and return outside or to their owner's rooms. If you must carry your flit in the halls, he or she will be held tightly to your arm or neck at all times, or you will not be allowed to have them out again. Anyone found disobeying this rule will be severely punished!
Daynar Hallmaster
***
Satisfied with his day's work, the Hallmaster whistled for Scrap and began patroling the halls a candlemark later, expecting to find no signs of any fire lizards, and no problems at all. Imagine his surprise when one of the newest apprentices appeared in front of him, with his young brown fire lizard flying along beside him and around his head. Scrap went crazy, barking and yowling at the brown flit until it disappeared /between/ only to reappear hissing from the young boy's shoulder. The Hallmaster's familiar bellow was not far behind. "I SAID NONE OF THOSE!!"
The apprentice, who's name was Kuralt, cowered before the booming voice.
Daynar approved of cowering, and so he softened his next bellow a bit.
Just a bit, mind you.
"If I EVER see that flit AGAIN in these Halls, you and _it_ will be asked to leave and never return! Get to your CLASSES! And send it to your rooms!"
The young boy, with his equally young flit as it happened, ran off in a scurry with a stammering "Y-yes Hallmaster." Trailing behind. Gratified by at least _something_ in his domain obeying as it should, he went on his way, almost smiling. That must have scared a few turns off some of the apprentices he passed, but did our good Daynar care? Not at all. All was currently right with his world.
