Officer Kendrick

Can't let you become a squire until you have a shield, kid. It's the rules.

Good, I see you've got a sword and shield. I'll just need to see your sponsorship papers and we'll be set.

Of course sponsorship papers! You need a knight to sponsor you to become a squire.

Talk to Master Torak, the Man-At-Arms; he sometimes takes in strays. He's down at the tavern, but I warn you -- he's been in a foul mood all day. Don't know why. Just get him to sign these, and you'll be set.

Don't even think of talking to me unless you've got those sponsorship papers.

See? There you go talking to me!

No sponsorship papers yet? Then go away.

I'm not seeing any signed papers on you...

Oh. It's you. Got the signed sponsorship paper? Good. Where's the rest?

You don't have your Letter of Consent?

Boy, you need a sword, a shield, a signed sponsorship paper... and your Letter of Consent, signed by both parents.

Sorry -- no excuses. Get it signed or no squire-hood for you.

Sorry. You know the rules. No Letter of Consent, no squire.

I understand if you can't get that letter.

Maybe you're not persistent enough to be a squire.

Good... good! You got it all. I hope you didn't mind the run around I gave you. It helps weed out the ones who don't have the heart for it. Persistence is the mark of a good squire. So welcome, future Defender of Meridell. You are now an official squire.

All right lad! Enough posing; it's off to the castle for first duty.

Report to the castle for duty squire!

You'll have to find your sponsor, Master Torak to start your training.

What are you waiting for squire? Off to the castle with you.

Hope your training is going well.

I hear Master Torak's a hard trainer.

Keep it up, squire and make Meridell proud!

I knew you could make it as a knight.

I've got an eye for the ones with talent.

You'll make Meridell proud, I'm sure of it.
