Dialog

King Henry VIII By the grace of God and the might of England, our knights shine brighter than Apollo's chariot this day! Let France see what true valor looks like!
King Francis I Ah, but even Apollo must bow to the Muses, mon ami. Our French artistry in these pavilions will be remembered long after the dust of the joust settles.
English Noble Your Majesty's knights do indeed ride as if guided by Mars himself. Though I daresay the French tents are... gilded enough to blind the sun.
French Noble How quaint that the English think brute force outshines refinement. Their pavilions look as though they were sewn by Vulcan after too much wine.
King Henry VIII What's this whispering? Our French friends should speak plainly - unless their words are as insubstantial as their pastries!
King Francis I My dear Henry, the sweetest words are often spoken softly, just as the finest steel sings before it strikes. But let us toast to this magnificent display - from both our kingdoms.
English Noble Aye, let the tournament decide whose star shines brightest this day. Though I wager our lances will pierce more than just shields before sunset.
