Sidelined from the mission that has been many of their lives for years, the group who had once stood against Keijen Blade has made a dangerous gambit - they've decided to leave the Knighthood, knowing they may never be allowed to return.  With them, have gone Sam and Dean Winchester, and Faith Lehane.  Their destination?  A distant monastery overlooking the village of Krozna, in the Ural Mountains.   This hidden location was home to many Shadowkind who did not wish to deal with the prejudice that their appearance might force upon them out in the world, particularly in Russia.  Wynn had apparently established a location here for Knights that broke the rules of the Knighthood so extremely to reflect upon their crimes, or for those whose powers made it impossible for them to live out in civilized society.

This monastery of misfits is run by a man named Mikhail Kalachnik, a willing exile who volunteered for the position, a man vouched for as trustworthy by both Jack Chessing and Finnick Odair.  It is here that the former Knights will set up a base of operations from which they intend to rescue Rafael Giovanni, research a way to stop Keijen Blade, and take him down once and for all, along with the evil Mind Master.  

But first, they must get to know the exiled Knights with whom they will be sharing this hideout...

Yeah, I hope so, too. I've got some things I need to talk to her about.

[In regard to those...secrets.]

[selfexile]

[ mikhail is taking this all in quietly, but nods ] We can help you to monitor, at least, even if most of this is beyond us.

[littledhampir]

Wynn trusts her. [ Which might not be enough given Wynn had trusted others who have since betrayed them.] And more importantly, she still trusts him.

[ As if that was all that mattered, which in many ways, for Rose, it was.

For much of this conversation, Rose had avoided looking directly at anyone, pulling into herself in order to get through the story. She'd had years to brace for the backlash that she expected would come from the secrets that had been kept and while there was a sense of relief in no longer holding it all in, the feeling of trepidation was understandable.

That in itself is why Alainn's apology throws her, surprise quickly morphing into confusion as she meets her friends gaze. The other woman had nothing to be sorry for, least of all not pushing to involve herself. Rose and Dean had needed trust and patience and that was exactly what she and Mark had offered. There weren't many people who could have done as much under the circumstances.]

I'm the one who should be sorry... for involving you in this. [At first to Mark and Alainn, but she even spares a glance for Mikhail and Dom.] All of you. I know this is way more than you could have bargained for when we showed up here.

[Ascended Gods??? was one thing but Heaven, Hell and mass betrayal on the scale they were talking about as well?]

I have a couple of things I can try as well, especially now we know exactly what Elena and Des are... I'm just hoping we won't need them.

[But unlike Alainn... she doesn't sound convinced that she won't. Rose is all out of optimism on the trusting people front.]

[nosdacariad]

I'm hoping our ex-friends don't try to kill us, personally, so yeah. Let's cross our fingers we don't need them.

[littledhampir]

They shouldn't. [Confident about that, for all the worst reasons.] They won't get anything out of us if they did.

Are there... questions? [A beat, before she ads.] That can't wait till everyone's had a chance to process, anywa.

[selfcombust]

Plenty, but they seem more generally existential.

[littledhampir]

You probably wouldn't like the answers anyway.

[likedillinger]

I'm sure you wouldn't.

[littledhampir]

Anyway - [ Girlfriend here to casually change the subject before that comment from Dean could lead down a whole other rabbit hole. ] If that's all for now, we should probably grab a room. It's been a long couple of days.

[chessing]

It certainly has been. Thank you, to you both. [ he glances to mik and dom ] And to you as well.

[attollores]

[She takes Mark's hand, nodding at the idea of a break from all of this, of having just a bit of time together to... figure this all out.

Her hesitance is brief, but after a moment she reaches out to give Rose's hand a tight squeeze of reassurance, of solidarity, before standing to find a room.]
