Re: Riverside

[A Less-Dark Alley] "...Indeed." The knight agrees, setting the chestplate aside and simply staring at her, gauntlet-covered hands on its knees. "But you are wrong; it is far from boring, to me. I know far too many people who have lost loved ones to illness to dismiss it out of hand....

Re: Riverside

[A Less-Dark Alley] "Absum forbid." The knight swears solemnly, one arm over its bare, blobby chest and the other up in the air. "I would not take it upon myself to slaughter an innocent girl, much less a... dying..." The knight's demeanor changes as the words finally hit it, ju...

Re: Riverside

[A Less-Dark Alley] If the knight's ears were visible, they would have perked up at the sound of a cane tapping not so far away. It practically throws down the armor as it turns to see the source of the noise. Was that who he thought it was? Could it really be, after- ...No. It's not her. The knigh...

It'd been some endeavor, finding back all the pieces of its armor after its ill-fated duel with those goblins....

Re: Outside: Grass touch place

[Forsaken Cathedral] The experience certainly won't map prettily. Miranda can hardly be blamed for her actions; her motives for helping Charcoal are pure, even more so once Sapphira's influence is cut off, which leaves little room for corruption to take hold in that regard. But with what's going on...
