Swiftly, Kaelthorn looked at him, his eyes sharpening even more, and they seemed ready to drill into Vale. "You said?"
"Isolde has a debt she's paying at the moment, and until she's done paying it, I will do as I want with her."
Kaelthorn narrowed his eyes, flickering them at Isolde before turning back to Vale. "Isolde.....is one of my Master Knights. Are you, an Errant Knight, going to deny me? A Master Knight?"
Pensive energy gathered around him, his skin stretching as if it might burst at any moment. But Vale met his eyes flatly, readiness coiling in him like a spring.
Isolde broke the ice. She took a step forward and smiled tightly. "Kaelthorn, I no longer work for you. I'm an independent Master Knight, I've been that for a while. And I'm not currently on your pay contract."
"And he is?" he asked with an edge in his voice.
"Yes, he is," Isolde said with a little smile as if she was sharing a joke with herself. "I'm working for him."
"He's an Errant Knight."
