Our mission may not take more than one well planned night. At which point, we can reconvene.

<- using this icon for internal reactions lmao

[socialgraces]

[She shakes her head, perhaps a little too enthusiastically, at that, her previously ignored worries springing back to the surface. But, they've been through this before, and it's too late to turn back now, so she doesn't feel the need to really go into it all again.

She can't help that in a state of fear, Christos is the only one who really makes her feel safe. It's a deeply instinctual reaction for her (like an animal magnetism).]

That'd probably be a good plan of action. Quite a good plan, actually.

[everyredcent]

Of course it is. [Yep, this is how he comforts himself]

[socialgraces]

[She smiles softly, feeling more content than she has in over a week. His confidence is comforting to her too, and she feels a little less neurotic knowing she's not the only one still concerned about her role.] I suppose we'll just have to hope this goes as smoothly as we're planning.

[everyredcent]

If not, at least this particular group is ... adaptable.

[socialgraces]

[She slowly cranes her neck to look back at the other passengers on the flight. She doubts anyone else would realize what an actual compliment that was coming from Christos. But she does, and she smiles a little wider when she looks back at him. It's more than a little relieving, and it helps bolster her own confidence in this mission.

She feels suddenly renewed in all this. A maybe even a little excited, but in a cautious way. They can do this.] We can do this.

[She's not sure if the reassurance is for her sake, or his, but it feels necessary nonetheless.]

[everyredcent]

Naturally. [He'll just hide it behind sounding boastful, instead of optimistic] As long as those squires don't get in the way.

[socialgraces]

There are definitely worse Knights we could be stuck with. I think they'll do fine, all things considered.

[everyredcent]

If not, there are miles of wilderness nearby...

[socialgraces]

[She can't help but let out a soft chuckle, shaking her head. His teasing makes her feel playful so she asks:] How long do you think you could survive alone in the wilderness? With only the tools you carry on you.

[everyredcent]

Is that a subtle warning?

[socialgraces]

The resourceful man you are, I just want to make sure you're prepared for anything.

[everyredcent]

Of course I am. I'd find my way out within a week.

[socialgraces]

[Why is his manly arrogance so endlessly charming? She gives him an impressed eyebrow raise, her smirk becoming more defined.] Of course you would.

I just wouldn't stop moving for fear I'd end up resting somewhere full of insects or rodents. [She makes a disgusted face.] The wilderness is terrible. [No camping trips for this guy.]

[everyredcent]

I'm glad that's your concern, rather than natural predators.

[socialgraces]

Oh, that too, I guess... [And she trails off. She could honestly see herself killing a bear or whatever other wild animal she might come across, and taking out a whole swarm of bugs seemed much more challenging. And gross.] Of course I can run very fast if need be. And climb... things.

[everyredcent]

Valuable skills. I'll keep that in mind if I need to choose one of you to be trapped on an island with. [Yes, he heard all of it. Every bit. :| ]

[socialgraces]

[She regrets nothing, although she does look at little shy at his mention of it.] Well, if we're petitioning for the spot, I feel I should remind you that I've recently discovered my talent for cooking. And I think I could pull off the desert island attire better than anyone else on this plane.

[everyredcent]

I think you'd have Bancroft beat, at any rate.

[socialgraces]

Well, I don't know if that's saying much. [She leans back, crossing her arms.] After all, Arthur was the only one I viewed as an actual opponent. In the swimsuit competition that is.

So? [She raises an eyebrow in his direction.] You already know my choice, don't I get to hear yours?

[everyredcent]

[He snorts at the idea of Arthur in a swimsuit, but then gives her the slightest of mini-double takes when he realizes he's backed himself into a corner]

I wasn't playing the game.

[socialgraces]

Well, that didn't stop you from eavesdropping. [She accuses, playfully.] Besides, I was just curious, and no one else knows what we're talking about anyway. It won't hurt my feelings if you pick Thomas. Or Arthur, I guess, although that might sting a little bit. [She gives him teasing smile to match her tone.]

[everyredcent]

Thomas enjoys the sound of his own voice far too much.

[socialgraces]

Maybe the opposite would work better for you. No one has ever accused Luthir of talking too much.

[everyredcent]

[Muttered:] Or of having a personality, for that matter.
