[glow=red,2,300](Yaren and Colan)[/glow]
Yaren noticed Geof's late arrival and frowned in disapproval. He then continued down the line of new pages until he came to Colan. Briskly as with all the others, "Name and fief."

(Valt and Corin)
Valt stood with the older pages, but noticed his cousin Corin standing to the side with the new pages. He sent a barely perceptible nod to Corin from behind the weaponmaster's back.

(Colan and Yaren)
Colan stood tall as the Training Master stopped before him. In his strong voice the training master asked his name and fief and Colan replied as bravely as he could. "Colan of Queenscove sir" He then stood quietly his blue eyes focused on the training master for a moment before darting along the hall to see the other pages. They all looked more nervous then he felt.

Geof made faces behind Yaren's back, in a pleasant attempt to make the obviously nervous paiges gain some confidence.... or atleast laugh at the idiot-elder paige.

Colan stood still but over the training masters shoulder he spotted an older page being rather silly. It took all of Colan's self control to stop him from bursting out laughing. It was definitely an enlightening gesture the atmosphere around him lightened some and his thick coating of nerves died.

Yaren nodded and turned to the older pages gathered behind, "Who will sponsor Queenscove?"
((OOC: sorry for taking so long. finals are done now so I should be able to be back on more frequently.))

(OOC: no problem) Colan stood quietly to eager to show excitement when someone sponsored him he would be one step closer to his knighthood. Colan laughed at himself he was so eager he was thinking about eight years ahead of him instead on focusing on the present day.

((OOC: Ok, I'm tired of waiting to Zi to come back so I'm just gonna throw in an NPC sponsor for you Frost.))
[glow=red,2,300](Yaren, Colan, and Jorlen)[/glow]
The silence seemed to stretch on forever after the Training Master asked who would sponsor Queenscove. Yaren stood impatiently while the older pages glanced back and forth amoung eachother, each waiting to see if someone else would sponsor Colan.
Finally Yaren had had enough and snapped out, "A knight does not daudle when making decisions. Queenscove needs a sponsor and any more delays will result in punishment duty."
That prompted alarmed looks amoung the senior pages and a fourth year quickly stepped forward. Nodding respectfully to the Training Master, "I will sponsor Queenscove sir."
Yaren raised one eyebrow briefly, "You, Jorlen of Haryse?" He was rather surprised that the tall blond should choose to sponsor Colan. The fourth year had always remained in the background during these times and had never sponsored before.
Jorlen gave a slight smile and nodded toward Colan, "The lad does need a sponsor and since everyone else is so eager to vollunteer," here he cast a reproachful eye over the rest, "that leaves only me."
Yaren's eyes narrowed minutely but he nodded and leaving them together moved on down the line.
Jorlen waited till the training master was farther down the line before, "So shall we get to know each other?"

Reaching the end of the lineup of new pages Yaren turned to face the last. In the same brisk tone he'd used with the others, "Name and Fief."

A knot in Colan's stomach came undone as someone finally stepped forward to sponsor him. What had taken so long, why didn't anyone want him. When his sponsor spoke to him he looked up and in the calmest tone he could muster replied "Aye you should. I'm Colan of Queenscove..." He paused and gave a short bow "Thank you for sponsoring me... i thought no one would." He gave a short grin "So... who are you? How long have you been here?"

Jorlen returned Colan's smile and chuckled slightly. He bowed mock seriously but barely restraining a grin, "My pleasure to meet you Colan of Queenscove. I am Jorlen of Haryse and it is my honor to sponsor you."
He couldn't keep it up for long and broke out into an infectious grin. "Seriously Colan, it's nice to meet you. I've no idea what got into the others that no one else came forward to sponsor you. Usually they're tripping over eachother to sponsor the newest pages."
Crossing his arms and leaning casually against the door, "As to how long I've been here, this will be my last year as a page before hopefully advancing to squire."
He glanced down the hall and saw that the training master was still with the last of the new pages. Turning back to Colan, "Well as soon as he's done with the last of you first years it'll be time for dinner. So any questions while we wait?"

(Yaren and Corin)
Corin straightened up proudly as the master addressed him. "Corin of Irismere, sir!" he said, his voice ringing with surety. Stood at respectful attention, his back straight, as he waited. There was no tension in the boy; he was counting on his cousin to stand by and sponser him at a word from Yaren. If anything, he was at ease.

Yaren nodded slightly in approval of his respectful attitude. Then turning to the remaining older pages, "Who will sponsor Irismere?" He hoped that after his rebuke over the delay in sponsoring Queenscove someone would come forward more promptly this time.

Yaren, Corin, Valt)
Valt stepped forward briskly, and with a strong voice addressed the weaponmaster. "Brightleigh will sponser Irismere!" he said. He caught his cousin's eye as he waited. Family sticks together... blood is thicker than water. It was a sentiment that went beyond feeling, in his family. His kin had always helped their own. He wouldn't let someone inferior sponser his cousin-not a chance. He, like Corin, stood respectfully at the front.

Colan thought for a moment when Jorlen asked him if he had any questions. "No questions but if you can give me some idea of everything i would greatly appreciate it" Colan's voice was confident now as the pre-sponsoring nerves had worn off. Colan quickly glanced down the hall. He watched as another first year was sponsored in a mere few seconds, what did i do to get picked reluctantly? he thought before returning his warm gaze to Jorlen. He caught a glance of Jorlen's infectious grin and grinned himself he was so excited, he was finally on his way up to the top of the Queenscove line.
