♬ Reasons Why - Nickel Creek

WHO || Koraith, Vanille, open if people want to bang into them, just threadjack wherever.
WHAT || Koraith meets with his squire
WHERE || Knight's HQ, Andie's Room
WHEN || Saturday afternoon
HOW || Actionspam

[Wynn had explained to Vanille upon their first meeting that the Knight she would be squired to was currently on a mission, and would be returning within a few days, but told her little more about him. When she wakes on Saturday morning, she'll find a note attached to the outside of her door in elegant script, asking her to meet in the front lobby around 1pm.

It's just down the hall, so a very easy find, and there's only one person standing there when she arrives, beside the Knight working the desk.

He presents a hulking figure, easily seven feet tall, with hands that looks like claws clasped behind his back. As he turns to look at her, it's clear just how far his inhuman appearance extends. Ridged spines form his brow, golden tendrils hanging down from his cheeks almost like mustachios. A fine dark golden mane winds around his face like a beard, some of which is carefully braided. He wears a dark red robed lined in white fur, and there's jewelry evident on his fingers and around his neck. He fixes his gaze on her, and his eyes seem to smile.]

[His eyes light up, as if he had forgotten about this until she reminded him] Ah! I imagine there's quite a bit you don't know yet, yes. I suppose we'll have plenty of time to get to know one another. I'm meant to be your sort of guide as it were to how we do things around here, and once you feel comfortable, you'll be coming with me out into the field on real missions!

There's a lot I don't know, but I try to act like there isn't.

[She purses her lips, and rubs at her chin a little. She probably assumes the gesture makes her look crafty or smarter, but it only serves to reassure anyone around that she has ADHD and can't hold still for longer than three seconds.]

But-!

[Her hands clap as she clasps them together, and she rocks forward to rest on her toes.]

I say we try a real mission now! How hard can they be if the two of us are working together, right?

[koraith]

[He laughs at her admission] Not a bad way to do it! Confidence is the key, they say. It's all about making a good impression.

[But he seems very surprised by her eagerness] Ha, ha, well our orders come from Wynn, so I'm afraid we can't just pull a mission out of thin air. I'm glad to see so much enthusiasm, though. Reminds me of being young.
