"You must be the new squire," he said, his voice firm but not unkind. "I am Sir Roland, the castle's resident knight. You'll be training under me, so I suggest you be on your best behavior." <nc-section data-title="Version 2: The Warm Welcome" data-color="green"> As I led Thunder into the stables, a tall, lanky knight with a warm smile strode towards me. "Ah, Frederick! Welcome to our humble castle! I'm Sir Roland, your knight and mentor for the duration of your training. I must say, it's a pleasure to finally meet you. You're just in time for dinner – the cook's special is quite renowned, I assure you." <nc-section data-title="Version 3: The Amused Greeting" data-color="blue"> As I entered the stables, a knight with a mischievous twinkle in his eye and a strong jawline came strolling up to me. "Well, well, well, look what we have here," Sir Roland said, his voice dripping with amusement. "The new squire, fresh from... wherever it is you're from. I trust the road was kind to you? And more importantly, was Thunder here kind to you? He's a spirited one, isn't he?"
