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?

[ Not even flinching... hmph. He really has no fear of her. That, and he probably couldn't even feel the bonk through all that fluffy hair. So annoying. ]

Except for the shit about not explaining yourself properly. That, I'll be back for when you're not about to pass out on your new lover.

[ Who's a cat, so she imagines he'd get indignant about it. Tails might even get fluffed. Which would be hilarious, but...

...Well, there's one more little thing on her mind. ]

...Hey. Those things we saw at the end before you decided to take a nap in a pile of vines. Did you see what we saw?

[beautifulknight]

[ That is so funny he is actually just out of it, but his Knight's training is reinforcing him keeping up some kind of facade he can still socialize with people. Since she's nearby feel free to have her notice that his eyes are just a little hazed over from...you know, everything, though. ]

Hmm? What explanation?

[ Argenti does still do a good impression of a clueless puppy head tilt except verbally. ]

...I did, but I am not going to run around telling others, if that is what you are afraid of.

[bloodandstars]

[ Yeah... she's definitely both close enough and observant enough to spot that. How is he even awake right now? Ridiculous. ]

Later, I said. You're not gonna remember any of this, and I'm not explaining myself twice.

[ Honestly he looks like he's already sleeptalking. She kind of wants to hit him again. ]

Of all the fears in my mind? That doesn't even make the list. [ Who's afraid of someone knowing that what Maika Halfwolf finds beautiful is the idea of a peaceful place with room for belonging? Not her. ] But... fine. I wasn't planning on telling anyone what I saw from yours, either.

[ Although everyone here already saw those fragments of his childhood, and more. That's not the point. ]

[beautifulknight]

[ This is why he is so going to faceplant when he gets back to his room... ]

Very well then.

[ Argenti says simply because it sounds reasonable enough. But, he does pass Maika a more gentle smile at what she says next. Though he does idly what does she even fear in the first place...she seems so fearless. But, anyway. ]

You were not? ...I am most grateful for it. It isn't like I would be surprised if anyone did. But, it is nice to know.

[ He doesn't particularly expect much considering some of it has to do with his own ideology, but it is kind of comforting to know his privacy is going to be respected. ]

[ Hopefully into the bed?? RIP Argenti. ]

This place will get around to airing everyone's business eventually. I've got no need to give it a hand.

[ And no willingness, she's not that kind.

For a moment she looks at him like she might want to ask something else. But there's too many people around, and that glazed look... pfft. In the end she shakes her head and her eyes crinkle slightly in amusement. ]

Go get rest, knight. Or... whatever.

[ Just this one time she'll pass on kinkshaming! Literally only once. ]
