You have, however, given me a really evil brainwave about this:
* * * * * * * *
Phoebus looked up at that roaring voice. He’d been right, that what he’d heard was akin to a cannon firing on a distant target. The difference was that this was not any cannonball or bolt he’d ever seen used; this was a man, a man in strangely angular plate armor now rising to his feet, surrounded by the wreckage of the scaffolding meant for Esmerelda; roaring a challenge to Judge Frollo. The figure gestured…
“DOWN!” Phoebus roared again in warning as a golden streak arced across the open area before the cathedral, followed by spall of some sort bouncing off his back. Looking up, he realized that whatever it was he’d briefly seen had smashed the lock of the wagon he was in. He reached down and pulled up the person he’d sheltered.
“Clopin. You claim to be king of the Gypsies? Prove it. Take control of your liegemen. Get these bystanders out of here.”
“And where will you be, *Captain?*”
“Where any good officer of the king should be. Rushing to the sound of the guns,” Phoebus snarled as he launched himself out the now open door and through the crowds between himself and the strange knight. Ahead of him, Frollo’s voice rang out across the square.
“I am JUDGE Frollo. Appointed by King Louis to dispense his justice. Who are you to defy me and my king?”
“You may call me Don Quixote, lord of La Mancha. Knight of the Woeful Countenance and destroyer of evil such as yourself.”
Don was how a Catalonian would refer to someone equivalent to his own status as Chevalier prior to his commissioning as a Kings officer. But why would someone from the Iberian Peninsula be so far north?[1]
[1] heh. Okay, nope, haven’t somehow swapped characters here. Muck is claiming he’s a fictional character from a novel that hasn’t even been written yet just to rattle Frollo’s chain. I considered breaking into song to deliver this line… but didn't. But maybe in a paragraph or two? Heh heh heh...
