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...

[Watching Vi do the mom thing is honestly his favorite thing right now. It just warms his heart, which has been pretty damn cold being here for so long.]

I promise the hot cocoa will be worth the wait. [He gets them moving again.]

Somehow, I don't see little Lucia here adjusting to boring Krozna life so easily.

She has Shayla and their wild imaginations. One of our rooms will have to turn into a giant blanket fort, I'm sure, but as long as she has Shay and people to talk to, she's pretty chill.

[ she lowers her voice. ] This is terrible to say, but she's like a puppy. She just has to explore this place and decide it's her and then she'll be fine.

[He chuckles.] Animals, at least, I understand. After cocoa, we can let her explore. Within reason, at least. There are some people around here that she should probably stay away from.

There are people everywhere she should stay away from, [ vi counters, shrugging a little. ] You're more than welcome to cry, but this little girl isn't even afraid of Christos so.

[ lucia turns around. "Christos?" where. ] I was just talking about him, Glowbug, he's not here.

[ "Dovan?" ] No, love. [ "Zewo? her tiny mouth turns down in a frown and vi thinks she might start listing every old man in the castle that vi thrust her upon so they could tell her stories of her father, successfully or not. "Daisy?" ]

No, sweetie, Daisy had to stay to take care of Lan, you know that. [ lucia looks like she wants to cry WHERE ARE ALL HER FRIENDS AND HER HORSE FRIEND'S FRIENDS. ]

[Charming can't help but feel his heart break a little bit as this sweet little girl starts to realize that so many of her people aren't here. He crouches down.]

Hey... when I came here, I thought it was pretty crummy that I had to be so far from your mommy. But I made a couple new friends and it made everything seem a little less lonely. What do you think about me being a new friend to help while you're here, huh?

[ lucia considers thoughtfully before nodding as it this is acceptable. "Yes, please." ]

Oh, you even got the good manners.

[ "And the goats?" ]

You mean the sheep we met? Yes, they'll be your friends. And there are some goats I can introduce you to tomorrow. [Farmer Charming is here to keep the kiddos entertained, basically.]

[ "Sheeps!" clearly what she meant, lucia lets charming and vi shuffle her into the kitchen, seemingly pacified with the state of her friendships for now. ]

Now that I see you with her, I can see the dad thing.

[He laughs, looking down at his feet, almost bashful.]

I still wish I could remember any of it. But I guess some of it is just instinct?

Well, feel free to dad me and the Glowbug, she needs all the ballin' guys in her life.

[There's something really touching about the fact that she would want him to be any sort of influence on her child after learning about what he did. He's got a lot of feelings about this right now.]

I'll keep that in mind. Hopefully I can make be around more than just the few days you guys are here. [Y'know... eventually]

We might be here for more than a few days...

Yeah? I can't say I'd be too upset about that. [He likes the idea of having more people around to talk to.]

I can't say I'd be too upset about hanging out with you either.

[He gives her shoulder a light bump with his.]

Kitchen's right this way. [And here it is! A kitchen! It's nothing super special, but it's got enough to get by.]

[ everyone turns into the kitchen and lucia barrels into the room and directly into the edge of the table top and suddenly there is shocked toddler shrieking. ]

Shit, Lu.

[Charming has some parental instincts, but this is a bit much for someone who has never cared for a small child. He looks a little clueless and panicked.]

Is she okay?!

[ it's probably awful to see tbh and if vi didn't see her daughter walk into shit on the regular she would be just as panicked.

lucia is just wailing, but vi gathers her up and the soft green glow that emanates from her hands sees the little scrape on lucia's forehead closing up and healing over. vi uses the edge of the blanket poncho to wipe any remaining blood off her face. ]

She's right as rain, aren't you, Glowbug? [ lucia's wails have subsided to whimpers, most of the distress coming from startled panic and not actually pain ]

[Charming breathes a little easier as he watches Vi heal the scrape.]

Could you do that before? [He just remembers her being very in touch with nature. Not, healing people. But it's not like he needed to be healed much back at the castle.]

No. [ her nose crinkles apologetically. ] There's probably five or six voicemails about it, too. It just sort of happened, one time, Myri was hurt and -- [ she shrugs helplessly as she stands up with lucia in her arms, the little girl's face buried against her shoulder. ]

I'm not, like, a cleric. Myri is the cleric. I'm just back up if she's not around or needs a hand.
