[untethered]

I suppose that depends on how strongly one hangs onto them.

[graveflowers]

Variety is the spice of life.

[untethered]

It's part of what makes the Knights so successful, I imagine.

[graveflowers]

Yeah, differences make groups stronger when they're united under basic tenants. Everyone's got their strengths that play off each other. Brawn is useless if you haven't got the brains.

[faeconman]

Of course. I take it you're more the sort to let things go?

[untethered]

I think there's a difference between recognizing what things you've been afraid to let go of that are holding you back, and keeping something in your heart that keeps you going in the morning.

[untethered]

I think that's what makes it such a community as well. No one's forced to fit into a mold just to be a part of things. In fact, Wynn encourages us all to be exactly who we are. Just the best possible version of who we are.

[graveflowers]

Its nice that the expectation doesn't seem to have a time table, either.

[untethered]

Well, when some knights live for hundreds of years here, I imagine everyone's sense of time is a little different.

[graveflowers]

That's true. I'm still used to 25 being old around people like me, but then, you know, I meet people who are a million in dog years.

[Yeah, that's pretty much just how she's going to phrase it forever, now.]

[untethered]

I wonder which one of them has been a Knight the longest. They'd have to have some wonderful tales to tell.

[graveflowers]

Well. We could ask.

[which she is going to start right now, actually, shouting across the plane.] Luthir! How long've you been a Knight?

[luthir]

[ rather than look startled, he merely glances over and looks reflective, before saying simply: ] 149 years.

[graveflowers]

Thanks. [Gosh, he's just so pretty. Look away, Vi.] And you, Koraith? Or is that rude? Which, in hindsight, I should have asked first probably.

[koraith]

Nonsense, my dear girl. Luthir has a few years on me! Right before 1900, that's when I arrived.

[graveflowers]

[She glances at Belle, shrewd.] If you're secretly three hundred, I'm actually going to get a complex.

[And you can be totally impressed with her straight forward mode of getting shit done. She's going to turn back to the menfolk though.] So that's a couple, er, few hundred years between you. Belle thought some of the older knights might have some awesome stories...

[SO FEEL FREE TO SHARE, OKAY.]

[koraith]

Ohhh I think we've both had an adventure or two. Luthir more than I have!

[graveflowers]

[This isn't helping her looking away thing, you guys. Not helping at all. Because now she's not looking away, elbow on the armrest, chin in her hand.]

Care to elaborate?

[luthir]

[ luthir stares at koraith, in what might be a disapproving manner ] I'm not much of a storyteller.

[graveflowers]

Okay.

[Well that is disappointing, but not entirely surprising actually. She looks at Belle with a shrug.] I think I should get points for effort, just for the record.

[untethered]

[ belle nudges vi affectionately ] Oh come now, he's probably just being modest. [ she leans forward ] We'd love to hear your stories, Sir Luthir. [ he hesitates a bit more, glancing at violet. rollll diplomacy checks. ]

[graveflowers]

[Diplomacy 20 total, which is amazing okay, since she's kind of sullen, but whatever she can put that on hold for the sake of story time.] Please?

[Its the magic word, after all.]

[smugfox]

And so I shall! Good thing my mother taught me manners, I suppose.

Will you please sing, Robin, so I can listen?

[smugfox]

Seriously. The upside to slight kleptomaniac tendencies. [He feels down his own pockets and finally holds out a bar of chocolate to her, smiling as he broke off a piece for himself.]

Don't worry, though, nothing much other than sweet stuff holds that much appeal to me and actually fits into pockets.

[smugfox]

I don't think I really would want to try. I prefer to be in direct control of my movements.

[He glances around, rubbing the back of his neck and lowering his voice a little.]

I find I don't much like planes, either.
