WHAT || The Ex-Knights of Failboat arrive at Krozna
WHERE || Krozna, Russia
WHEN || 2 days after LA
HOW || Actionspam or prose

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...

You are not the only one who has been selfish.

[slay]

No? [ she doesn't want to put words in isa's mouth, so she settles in like ok tell me more. ] It is what people do, when they're scared of losing something.

[ that's why she'd acted that way, after all. fear of losing rafael had her shut down everything else. ]

[savemyself]

You have to understand that he was all I felt I had. But that was never because of anything he did. I see that now.

I'm the one who made him everything to me.

[slay]

[ buffy nods. she almost says she understands. she almost thinks she does because of everything with jade. but ... that's not really true, is it? it's not the same at all. ]

I'm sorry.

[ she means it, for what that's worth. ]

I knew that it was hard for you. I didn't spend time thinking about how hard. I should have. And I shouldn't have been ... defensive. I saw your pain, and instead of understanding, I just ... caused more. Because I was jealous. You have something with him that I don't, that I can't. You have ... history.

[savemyself]

And you have a future with him, when we save him.

It seems we both have something the other wanted.

[slay]

And we were so busy wanting, we didn't stop to think about what we had. Or try to understand.

[ she frowns. ]

If we'd been working together, we might have already saved him.

[savemyself]

Si, we might have. But now is our chance to.

[slay]

Good. Good, I'm glad we're on the same page.

[ she exhales. like man she was really dreading that but it was ??? not that bad ? ?? ? ?

she finally leans up, nosy, ] Uh, whatcha making, anyway?

[savemyself]

I thought a stew would feed quite a few.

[slay]

Also warm, so bonus there.

[savemyself]

Precisely. The longer we stay in this cold, the more I will lose my mind.

[slay]

[ she laughs. finally, something they can bond over that won't just engender jealousy. ]

I can't believe I used to think England was bad.

[savemyself]

It speaks to how bad it is out there in the world, that some would choose to live here by choice.

[slay]

Not saying I love that this is our only safe haven, but ... at least we have one.

[ god knows they need to regroup. ]

The bar keeps getting lower, huh?

[savemyself]

It will probably sink lower before we are finished.

[slay]

Check. Never come to you for optimism.

[savemyself]

I'm not sure what in my life would make you think I am much of an optimist.

[slay]

Masochism, mostly. You can never really tell by looking at someone, you know?

[savemyself]

I meant more than you know what I've been through. But I suppose despite all of this, we keep fighting. Perhaps that is foolish optimism in itself.
