just come right out with it.

Now that you are alone, you finally release the grin you have been holding back.

"Colter, I did it! I got one!" you say, only truly realizing your excitement when you put it to words.

Colter, having discussed your ambitions with you before, allows a look of realization to creep over his face. the realization soon turns to shock.

"who? because there's a big difference between fucking some farmer and-"

"not a farmer," you cut him off "A knight."

At that his jaw drops

"Colter, this is happening, and I want you to be a part of it."

"I don't know..." he says, shaking his head.

"Oh come on, man! think of it! being recognized for your skills as a smith, never forging another horseshoe, being given free reign to make whatever you like! and that's without mentioning the women! imagine it! a harem of women at your beck and call!" you proclaim enthusiastically.

he still seems uncertain, but you can tell that he is seriously considering it. you need something to tip the scales in your favor. You have just the thing.

"And, the first member of that harem will be that bitch of a blacksmith."

That got him. His eyes narrow and a little smile crawls onto his face.

"Alright," He says, his voice quiet "I'm in."
