The gilded knight moved his left hand to a small pouch on him. "Five gold coins, that makes five hundred silver coins or five hundred thousand copper coins. What on earth could you ask me more than one gold-piece for?"

He produced a golden coin from his pouch. Looking around he mumbled nearly under his breath. "An offering for the Ocean.. What was that the summary of that old rumor again? Pay a Sea bishop a golden coin and she will safeguard your ship for one voyage.. Now where is that sea-maiden?"

Looking back to the young man with coin in hand he gave an inspiring smile. "You might not have been accepted as a Paladin, a man of god destined to put himself in peril and danger at every corner. But our magnificent society of man could not thrive if we not had twice as many hard working and honest peasants for each soldier no matter his status. We have to be fed, we need our armor and weapons repaired and the lesser men among us need assistance in everyday tasks. We also need those to keep the wood under our feet from breaking as we are transported from place to place, like your boat here. What is an army without patsies? Nothing more than a bunch of men with broken arms and weak moral. You not fighting at the front makes you no less valuable to us."

He pridefully raised his chin and placed his right hand from his rapier onto the young man's shoulder. "Of course if you where to witness my overabundant skill during this voyage, there would be no doubt such a glorious display of proficiency would learn you a thing or two about fighting, so much so that you might one day become a paladin after all."
