WHEN || Saturday afternoon

[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.]

[She arrives right on time, not necessarily out of courtesy or because she wants to make a good impression, but because she doesn't have anything else to do and finds herself bored and restless. Upon first sight of her Knight, she's incredibly intimidated, and has to take pause.

She gulps as she looks him over, but realizes that if he's a Knight, he's one of the good guys. So she stands upright and hurries her way on in closer to him, offering him a bright smile and a wave.

And standing this close, she can see the look in his eyes isn't terrible at all. He looks quite nice, actually!]

I didn't keep you waiting, did I?

[This comes out sounding more nervous than she originally had hoped, and the look on her face says she instantly regrets asking that, since she knew for a fact that she was on time.]
