Card Lores:Noble Jest, Mercutio

A friend of "Romeo's" and "Benvolio's", and "Escalus's" nephew. Always ready to turn any piece of conversation into a joke, "Mercutio" was often the life and soul of any party around- especially when he got drunk. His jests made even the grumpiest of people smile, and it seemed that he had the gift of a quick and clever mind too, when "Romeo" or anyone else challenged him to wordplay 'battles', as they like to call that activity, and often won them as quickly he won people's hearts. However, sometimes his mind could get overly imaginative, and he would end up saying things other people would disapprove of, but he didn't regret them even in the slightest. To him, life was trivial, and made for people to enjoy while they could. The attention he got, though, was enough to make "Escalus" consider revising his original plans for inheritance of the throne. "Mercutio" did not seem to care about it, though; instead, his carefree life as he knew it continued on as if he had nothing to worry about. "Romeo" and "Benvolio" particularly enjoyed his company, even if "Benvolio" had found him tiresome to be with on some occasions.
