Alex: Hello Mewni! It is I, your humble host Alex Hirschville here with another insight into our community. Todays guest is a Squire for the royal family! Welcome…..Higgs is it?





Higgs: Yes, and thanks for having me! I barely got permission from my Knight so please excuse me if I can’t say too much.





Alex: Quite alright, I understand. But can you tell me a basic overview of being a Squire? What’s your day like? Who are you Squiring for?





Higgs: My Knight didn’t want me to mention them so I can’t do that but I can give you a idea of my day. We usually get up at 4:00 AM sharp, at least two hours before our knights so we can have their breakfast prepared, their armor and clothing gathered up and shined and cleaned. We make sure their horse has been taken care of and exercised. Once that’s complete we stay with them throughout the day, helping with any assigned task from the Royal Family. Then we help them practice sparing and repair of weapons or tools. We gather them food throughout the day as they request it and make sure they have a proper dinner at nights end. Also make sure they don’t get into very much trouble at the pub (laughts).





Alex: Wow! Sounds like a lot. So the end goal for a Squire is to become a Knight?





Higgs: Yes, eventually. The family only has a certain number of slots and you have to wait to a Knight is retired, either by grant from the Queen or death to move up. It can take decades. But it is worth it.





Alex. Astounding. Doesn’t sound like you have much time for a personal life.





Higgs: My life is dedicated to the Royal Family, nothing else matters.





Alex: Interesting. Now, I have this photograph here that was sent in by a Knight…..I’m not going to name him as he requested……but it was at the Stump Day sale at Quest Buy, do you remember it?





Higgs:…………Yeah, it was……it was a interesting time. We all had fun I think and got what we were after.





Alex: Can you tell me about this photo? It looks like Princess Star Butterfly was there, which is confusing! She isn’t a Knight or training to become one is she?





Higgs: Not that I’m aware of……..she was there with her “Squire” friend. They didn’t seem too serious as they were just having…….fun at the end.





Alex: Mmmhmmmm. Well, I know this is just a snapshot of a moment but you seem to be staring…….well I gue_





Higgs: Okay……I’m done. Thanks for having me Alex. It was fun but….I uh……I have duties to attend.





Alex: I’m sorry, I didn’t mea_





Higgs: Duty Calls! Bye now. (Exits Studio)





Alex: Well, there you have it folks. Hope it was as enlightening for you as it was for me and Higgs it appears. See you next time here on WSTR 650 AM, The Wand!
