So the problem with occasionally dragging attractive strays home to patch them up is that sometimes things happen. unplanned things. Not the sort of unplanned things involved in heavy drinking, thank god, because the last thing Chai needs right now is to accidentally get knocked up by a stranger-
But no, the kind where she hounded and then made plans to meet a certain writer at a certain carnival and then LIFE happened and she never managed to catch up again. That and her general lack of luck with keeping her phone, meant she hadn't spoken to said stray since she stood him up (UNINTENTIONALLY. Stop looking at her like that) means that when said writer-house dog stray shows up at the secret almost shady initiation into full scale fairytale level knighthood - well - I hope you all had on seat belts, the ceremony is about to end in a brutal crash. THERE MAY BE CASUALTIES.
Chai gets as far as 'I swear' while she's glancing at the other knights because she catches sight of Anthony and her words just... fizzle out and disappear. She stares with wide-eyed and blatant surprise. The whole nine yards. Oblivious to everything and her mouth hanging open. Lower jaw function has ceased, and with it, most of her primary cortex seems to have gone on strike.
Not only is Anthony there, but he's looking fully the role of the knight in that shining armor to the point that Chai is starting to suspect she fell asleep reading one of her father's fairytales. Seriously, he is more than a little unfair and she was neither equipped or prepared to deal with this right now.
She doesn't even notice he's mumble-fucked his own pledge. Who is she to judge? She hasn't even managed to attempt her own. What even are the odds of both of them ending up there at the same time, in the same squiring ceremony? No really. She wants some frickin statistics. Pretty sure it's 1 in a number with 5 digits minimum.]
Anthony?
[Yep. Sure did just interrupt the serious business squiring ceremony/pledge. She hasn't even noticed. Guess who has all but forgotten Wynn and the other knights exist at all?
This is what I get for Ty and Ruvaen's pledge rolls being so fantastic.

If you guessed Chai, you get a cookie.
