Argenti's Palace

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?

This is a story - the sleeping princess can only be awoken by true love's kiss!

[ Shouting this like it should be VERY OBVIOUS, you idiot!! ]

We're gonna need him awake and cooperating to quickly transport him out of here! Get on with it!!

That's stupid, why would you assume that would work—

[Because it's Argenti's palace. Because of course that's how it'd work in Argenti's palace. Fray pauses as he considers this, then considers McGillis's words and... well. He's got a point. If this were anyone else, Fray would be telling them to get on with it too. So if that's how things are going to work, then he really should be practical about it instead of hesitating because he's embarrassed (and also doesn't want to take his helmet off).]

...Fine. Not a word about this.

[That goes for all of you!! Once we've got a clear shot at Argenti, Fray moves in to gently, carefully lift him and...]

[Fray removes his helmet in one swift motion, shaking his red hair out after he does so, two pointy little ears flicking upward as he does so.

So you know how we have some dogboys here? Turns out we've also got a catboy.

Fray wastes no time in leaning in to press a kiss to Argenti on the lips, lingering for a brief moment before:]

Wake up, Argenti. We need to get moving.

[.........practical to a fault, unfortunately...]

[Sayaka will gladly stay quiet about this. Keeping her expression schooled.

...

But also Y'ALL ARE SO CUTE SHE CAN BARELY STAND IT--both Sayaka and Atropos seem to be grinning but thankfully they keep working on the vines!!!]

[do NOT ever mention this again HE WILL DIE]

[worry not, she will be tactful and demure for her favorite stray cat]

[ wait a fucking second here CAN OPENER IS A CAT?! CAT! CAT CAT CAT CAT?! ]

[HISS]

[ Okay he didn't see the cat part coming. ]

[sometimes you're secretly a catboy, these things happen (no they don't)]

[Oh he is Looking.]

[do not perceive him,,,]

[Woe, perception be upon ye]

[ Argenti is like Sleeping Beauty indeed.

Not quite opening his eyes just yet. ]

[ But once the kiss happens, he does, staring up. ]

Get...moving?

[ He seems a little out of it from the blood loss, but he's conscious! Wait...that splendid voice, this beautiful, handsome face in front of him. Did he just kiss him?

... ]

D-Dearest Fray, love of my life, sweetest midnight knight of my dreams...this is you? Oh...I am blessed.

[ Argenti nearly faints for a second because he's like kind of swooning? But gets a grip and gives the rest of the strength that he can into moving. Sorry, he's a disaster. Thanks to everyone's efforts, he can give more of squirm, and is almost free, except he is just huffing and puffing. He will hold a hand out so he can help but pulled the rest of the way out. ]

[DO YOU HAVE TO EMBARRASS HIM EVEN FURTHER WITH THOSE PRETTY WORDS.... gods he is just as red as his hair. This whole thing is so embarrassing.]

Yes, it is. I'll explain everything once we're out of here. For now, though...

[He takes Argenti's hand and moves to wrap an arm around his waist. C'mon, with everyone's help we can probably get you free...!! Given that Fray wields a sword bigger than he is, lifting Argenti shouldn't be a problem at all regardless of the armor.]
