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...

I've never been hurt before. Not like this. So I'm not sure what's real and what's my mind lingering on it.

I'll be okay, though. Besides, we have something of a tradition to keep, don't we?

( stay with us, eat with us. let's share some time and rest together. goes unspoken. )

[beautifulknight]

If you are certain.

I shall leave you time to recuperate, but if there is anything extra I can do in recompense, I will gladly assist you in a heartbeat.

[ He means it. He doesn't...recall most of what happened in his palace, unfortunately. That is just how it is, but there are bits and pieces - other things that remain too, that linger longer than they should. ]

And speaking of tradition, I would most certainly enjoy to continue to partake in it.

[ It was mentioned before in his palace, after all...he thinks. He's getting excited about the idea of it. Of course not right at this very second, but he'll be there in a very enthusiastically manner regardless. ]

[beathollow]

Oh, yes, we all need time to rest. ... And probably to shower and change- ( don't look at the giant blood stain on her abdomen, argenti. don't look at how it's on the other side, too. ) -but then! We can find someplace that will... have enough room for everyone.

...

And, I'm happy for you. Now, go rest, both of you!

( yes she's talking to fray, too, hi, you're officially being bullied by a teenager too. )

[bloodweapon]

[....he is absolutely the same color as his hair.]

Your concern is noted. Thank you.

[he is going to DIE]

[beathollow]

( so this is why mizuki likes to tease people... )

[bloodweapon]

[the real lesson of this palace was that it is always fun to tease people (????)]

[beathollow]

( yes this is true and makes sense )

[beautifulknight]

[ Argenti is still out of it though he frowns in worry when he notices the spot of blood. He almost reflexively tries to cast a spell but they're in the real world now. ]

Please, do make sure to rest. It seems you have sustained substantial injuries.

[ Like he should talk, he's pushing himself, but ... friends. :(

And...his beloved who is turning red. There is red on his cheeks too but a happy one, and for a moment he looks at his embarrassed beloved one and he chuckles, as he says quickly as an aside: ]

...You are most adorable, just so you know, my dear.

[beathollow]

I was healed very quickly, don't worry. I feel very loved for it, actually.

[beautifulknight]

...Oh thank goodness.

[ The relief is palpable. Argenti is certain there were other matters, but still...knowing and hearing this makes him feel at least slighter at ease. ]

I am most grateful for that. Whenever you are ready, though, simply pass along the place and time.

[bloodweapon]

...Do not encourage them.

[He says, but there is absolutely no heat in it. Better for them to bully Fray than Argenti. He supposes.........]

[beautifulknight]

Encourage about what, my dear Fray?

[ Playing innocent in the face of this false heat. He gets a little wink too. ]

[bloodweapon]

You're incorrigible. You know exactly what I mean.

[His ears are absolutely giving him away as being pleased, though... Listen, he's so glad his very pretty knight is happy, okay...]

[beautifulknight]

[ His ears are such a good indicator of that indeed - and Argenti is rather familiar with recognize that kind of language. ]

I just may in fact do, yes. I cannot pretend for long, it seems. Though...it does not appear as if you mind.

[bloodweapon]

[Huff!!! Betrayed by his own ears...]

I suppose there's no denying that.

[beautifulknight]

[ Score one for the Knight of Beauty~

Argenti is going to let out a soft, gentle laugh at this, eyes twinkling with mirth, but a certain love all the same. ]

I am most glad that we are in agreement.
