Argenti's Palace

[beautifulknight]

The stage is set they say;
They don their masks and shields,
Shadows creep and cover their minds;
Now, what beautiful role shall they play?

I would like to think so.

[Whether his means of expressing that appreciation was taken well was always a question, though. He knew all too well he could be irritating at times, and often preferred to lean into it.

...And he might well be one to mock the Knights of Beauty, but as a palace had little sense of when mocking was from malice rather than fondness... well. He was learning. Save the jester's privilege for Argenti, once he's been dragged home.]

No course can be stopped entirely. Sometimes it is less a matter of strength than it is... stubbornness. [A glance to the assembled individuals--] And we are quite stubborn. Argenti's course is a river, not a railroad.

[beautifulknight]

You do require strength in order to pursue your goals. In moderation, but strength nonetheless.

Stubbornness is a trait that will either spell success or doom.

As for whether or not you can change course from his trail downstream...I doubt it likely, considering you are all attempting the impossible in the first place.

But, I see you are very well prepared to proceed forward.

[ And it seems he is no longer subtly suspicious at the man's words. Maybe it is the subtle Frenchman to Frenchman connection. Or perhaps it's his words entirely. Who knows. ]

[cirquedesang]

We have attempted the "impossible" and succeeded before.

[Izou. Yoon. But... Jordi means they've also failed. Considering this shadow knight was once Argenti's friend, that much goes unmentioned.]

What awaits us when we do? I don't expect he'll be joining us here just yet.

[beautifulknight]

What awaits you...

...are perhaps temptations looking to sink their claws in, Cheerful One.

But, I believe you've seen them before.

[ Whatever vague statement he means the Knight gestures towards the paths that have been laid open. The man is free to choose between north, east, south, and west. ]

[cirquedesang]

We shall see.

[Hm. That's not ominous at all. Regardless, he'll head off East as well. Buddy system!]

[beautifulknight]

[ Buddy system indeed. Hangout where Fray and Eli are going to be here! ]
