[Though Morla had not provided the names of her "champions", news of the siege of Mair travels quickly, and even without his normal channels for information, it hardly takes days for Lamont to ascertain who now rules the castle there: Ganondorf. It's a strange name, and one Lamont recognizes immediately; he recalls the message the Gerudo sent before departing from Caer Scima earlier in the month. Seems this was the guarantee the businessman was hoping for.

It's just a few hours after sunrise when Lamont, still in his quarters, picks up his locket to contact the king.]


King Ganondorf. [He bows his head in deference before looking to the locket again.] My name is Lamont Toucey; I've been charged by High-Queen Morla to do a bit of information hunting for the Unseelie cause, and she told me to come to you, should I find anything before she holds her next audience. I haven't left Caer Scima yet, but I plan to once I've set up a reliable network of eyes and ears around the Drabwurld. If I may, Your Majesty, I would like to ask whether you would recommend anyone trustworthy for me to get in contact with?

[The doubt behind Ganondorf's words is completely reasonable, and Lamont shows no objection whatsoever to the king's request.]

Certainly. Just tell me where and when to meet them.
chiabrows: (appeasing smile)

shall we set up a log?

[A nod, and the view on Ganondorf's locket shifts as Lamont stands from his seat.]

I'm currently in my chambers, so please allow me a few minutes to get down there.
chiabrows: (small smile)

ah, good call. just wanted to make sure!

[Lamont takes Ganondorf's near-repetition as his cue to get going. Thankfully his room is close to the stairs, owing to his lack of social status, so getting to and through the Great Hall and kitchens is fairly quick. However, given the labyrinthine set-up of the cellars, it takes a few minutes longer than the deliveryman hoped to find who -- or what, really -- he believes is Ganondorf's servant. The phantom looks enough like its creator anyway, and by the way it seems to be waiting, there's really only one thing to do.]

Excuse me. You serve King Ganondorf?
chiabrows: (appeasing smile)

[personal profile] chiabrows 2014-07-13 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Ah--

[Well, hearing Ganondorf himself speak through his so-called servant was admittedly unexpected. However, despite his surprise, Lamont seems to accept the situation pretty readily, and he bows his head, with an apologetic smile.]

I wish there was another way to verify my allegiance-- [But as soon as he says the words, an idea comes to mind and he cuts himself off. After a brief, thoughtful pause,] At the very least, I can offer you knowledge of an ability given to me by High-Queen Morla.

[With a slight nod, Lamont reaches into a pouch on his belt to produce a simple iron bracelet, holding it up between his thumb and forefinger to show it off to the phantom. While the item may not seem like much at first -- what little light exists in the cellars is too dim to cause the metal's odd gleam -- once Lamont slips the bangle onto his wrist, he will suddenly appear as a knight fully clad in ink black armor, visored helmet obscuring his identity. The businessman waits a few seconds, then just as suddenly as the armor materialized, it's gone, and Lamont pockets the bracelet once more.]

I haven't been able to confirm this yet, but the High-Queen ensured that the armor would be white and silver were I to travel to the lands of the south.

[And that's where the real power in this boon is, of course.]
chiabrows: (brow raise smile)

It is, but the illusion is powerful to work even in reflections.

[After all, mirrors can be quite tricky to fool.]
chiabrows: (small smile)

[personal profile] chiabrows 2014-07-17 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
[And that's the reason why Lamont has given the use of the bracelet such thought.]

This armor will not be worn lightly, Your Majesty; few will know that this "knight" even exists to be able to challenge him.

[Lamont watches with a raised brow as the phantom suddenly floats up and away, but his gaze snaps down to the locket once Ganondorf's voice resumes coming from the device. He listens to the names and notes given with each very carefully, and with a grateful bow of his head,]

You will not regret giving me your trust, King Ganondorf.

[Honestly, the fact that the Gerudo gave him so much to go on makes him a bit wary to ask for more, but what other options are there?]

If I may, Your Majesty, I'd like to ask one more favor of you.
chiabrows: (appeasing smile)

[Can't get easier than the potential debtee asking for it. Lamont's expression turns almost apologetic as he explains,]

The information I've been tasked with gathering requires that I leave Caer Scima, and as I've yet to leave since arriving in the Drabwurld, I've been well provided for, until now. From what I understand, the Castle of Mair is a place of, ah -- commerce, so if you've any wealth to spare from your conquest of the city, would it be possible to ask for a sort of... stipend? Just enough to cover room and food for, say, a month?

[Considering it was part of his orders to keep Ganondorf abreast of his finds, doing so was already a part of Lamont's plans. But he's certainly not going to turn said alternative down.]

It would be an honor to accept that offer.
