Kid!meme: "Can... Can I come with you? I wanna be a knight like you. We can be magic knights together! That would be so much fun. Could we do that, Daddy? I'll be really good, and I've been practicing with my fire spells! It would be so much fun! Please, Daddy?"
“No,” my face got serious and I frowned. “Kiddo, I’m not a good guy knight. I do help people now and then, but sometimes I get asked to do some not very nice things and I can’t tell my boss ‘no’. I made a deal. Although I was a bit bad at keeping my word in the past, I try very hard to keep it now. It’s not a fun job. There is also only one winter knight, and one summer knight. Although he’s a bit of a wimp.“

“Also, a proper knight does not accidentally set the carpet on fire. You should train with the Carpenters a bit with swords. They’re far better knights than I will ever be and they can teach you a lot more of the knight’s code. For now, though, you show me where you burnt the carpet and I’ll see what I can do to keep mom from finding out, yeah?”
