With the appearance of the Chalice on the table, 'Mr. Keeper' seemed to flinch, a fire growing in his eyes that hadn't been there before, and with an unsteady voice, he asked, "Why do you come to us with weapons?"

Kit Freeman jumped away from the table, looking around quickly, and asked "What weapons, Keeper?"

Mister Keeper never took his eyes from the Chalice.

"Never mind, Kit... it's something we adults should discuss."

Though Cap never took his hand from the Chalice, it seemed to grow hot in his grasp, and seemed to pull from his grip.
He held onto it, however, wishing to learn more.

"I wasn't aware that this was a weapon..." Cap said, truthfully... "though if it is, and if you're truly what you claim to be, I would imagine that you have little to fear from it."

Mr. Keeper rose from the table as well, and took on a more threatening aspect.

"I have not claimed to be anything, as far as you are concerned, Captain. Perhaps you should leave now. You have overstayed your welcome."

Kit Freeman bristled, picking up on Mister Keeper's tone, and said, "Say the word, Keeper, and I'll say the word!"

(To be continued...?)
