Yset and Zira are discussing trading me eh?
*puts on his most duitful and pious expression*
Yes Yset, I'm obsessed with gallantry and courty love. Honest I am!
A paladins view on the breakdown of our percieved romatic prospects:
____________________________________________
1. Seem to be obsessed with gallantry and courtly love.
Well of course, if nothing we paladins are cunning enough to know what a woman wants to hear.
2. Swoon and sigh and yearn and declare love at the drop of a hat (or plate helmet).
Merely a self defense mechanism to ensue the continuation of the paladin species, as so many women put stock in it.
3. But – are you the only woman in their lives, or do they love the Church more?
That is between a paladin, and the silence of the local innkeeper he buys.
4. Have a tendency to make vows and use them as excuses.
Well umm, why is it you always want us to reclaim our lost kingdom and become boring princes or kings? Our first inclination is to bop things on the head (or bop a cute lass on the head and take her home, but you get the idea).
5. Need to do a lot of guesswork with them.
Women would get bored otherwise. Besides, we learn to be shifty, all those brothers at the church who taught us didn't approve of Playelf, or Buffbriton. We had to practice our laying on hands in private!
6. Can you cope with having to be good and well-behaved all the time with them? No, thought not. It can be fun to corrupt them, however.
If only they knew....
Now come on ladies, lets go back to my place and do all the things I'll tell my friends we did anyway.
