[ she ducks her head, looking down at the screen again ] I simply appreciate good books, and read everything I can.

[graveflowers]

I'm more of an audio book kind of person. Or, really, an 'oh I saw the movie' kind of person.

[untethered]

Where I come from, we never had them.

[graveflowers]

[Oh that is really distressing. First Finnick, now Belle. This is sad. Sad people without movies and audio books. She grew up in a place where Roman architecture and temples and fauns abound, but they had satellite.]

And yet you're wicked good at Tetris. Mhmm, definitely a genius.

[untethered]

I don't think anyone's ever called me that before.

[graveflowers]

[Vi shrugs. Little Tetris wiz kid, all the books ever, that's basically genius in her book.]

[untethered]

What about you? What section do you think you'll choose?

[graveflowers]

Hide? I'm really good at hitting things.

[untethered]

But you also seem quite intelligent.

[graveflowers]

[Oh she's just really sweet, isn't she?] Thanks. I think the Hoard is a whole different kind of smart though.

[untethered]

I suppose everyone has talents in more than one area. It's nice to have people to share common interests with, in your section.

[graveflowers]

I guess. I don't even know how many people I've met from each section. Sometimes I wish people had name tags.

[untethered]

It's easier when you're not a squire anymore. And once you've worked with more people on missions, it's difficult to forget. Most of our fellow Knights here are... quite unique.

[graveflowers]

Yeah. Some are even gold.

[Look, it takes her a while to get over stuff that is so fabulously awesome.]

[untethered]

We don't seem to be lacking in color, no.

[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.

[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.
