Shield and Sword

The carriage entered the market and stopped in front of a bakery. Both SW and Maiden walked into the bakery and up to the clerk that was sitting at the counter.

“A loaf of bread, please.” Maiden asked the clerk.

“Ten bits.” The clerk replied in a gruff voice.

Maiden looked through her purse, noticing she didn’t have enough, “Oh dear.” She gave a sigh of disappointment.

“Don’t worry my dear! I’ll pay for it.” SW took out 10 bits and set them on the counter.

They walked out of the bakery.

“Thank you for the bread, but now I should be going.” She sounded somewhat sad.

“I hope to see you again tomorrow.”

And with that, Maiden walked away. SW watched as Maiden trotted away.

“Sword!” SH said to SH, angrily.

“Shield.” SW turned around to face the angry knight. “What is it?”

“I have come to declare something!” He replied.

“That you have lost and decided to give me what I have already won?” SW said jokingly.

“Yes, wait…no-ergh! I have come to challenge you to a duel in honor of Maiden.”

“Ahhh, I was thinking of the same thing.”

“Then we have an agreement. Meet me at the Town Square in the morning.” SH said.

“I’ll be there.” SW finished.

The two ponies went their opposite ways.
