Alric gave her something of a quizzical look at the talk of legends of dragons hailing from thousands of years before her time; it was curious to hear how such similar themes appeared so differently across the various worlds from which they all had come. He chuckled, though, at her following question, somehow just a bit prying and yet also revealing.

"...mm. As a knight, I mean to uphold my oaths, even if they were not taken here; that includes rendering aid to those in need, and protecting those who cannot protect themselves."

He pauses just a moment, smirking slightly.

"......however... if we are to be brutally honest, oaths do not pay very well, and one would not wish to benefit from another's need for protection. I spend far more of my time, thankfully, teaching--at the school, and at the training center."
