In less than twenty-four hours, everything has turned on its head.

A Knight and her allies were kidnapped by Iscariot agents for execution in Rome, barely escaping with their lives.

A mission meant to free one Knight from the influence of a dark god succeeded - at the price of another's life.

A simple recon mission at a Keijen Blade concert nearly led to two Knights committing mind-controlled suicide in front of an eager crowd.

Several Knights went to see Draken Crombe, leader of the Church of the Lord's Humanity, speak in person, and learned just how sinister his religion's dogma is.

A call from Sir Hathaway alerted Wynn to the escape of the doppelganger from the Knight's dungeons, an escape perhaps aided by Elena Gilbert.

A demigod interrupted what might have been a simple smash and grab retrieval of an artifact.

And most horrific of all, in the middle of the night, hundreds of Shadowkind in New York City awoke, and walked in a mindless trance down to the Hudson River to drown themselves. Only the quick thinking and combined efforts of the Knights present and their allies prevented all of them from succeeding.

Beset on all sides, a dark time awaits for the Knighthood - who were already suffering from the capture of Dragon's Claw Sir Thomas Bancroft at the hands of their long time enemy Dimitris Sarandis of Andres Isle.

In times such as these, the light can be difficult to find. Hope itself seems somewhere just out of reach.

[ dean's head jerks a bit as his eyes rivet to her hand, and then glance up at her, obviously completely thrown by the gesture, from rose of all people. he looks uncomfortable, exposed, and he sits there for a second just staring before he finally coughs and pulls his hand away, rubbing his palms together between his knees. ] Anyway.

[As he pulls his hand away she remembers to breathe again, wriggling the fingers, then flexing and closing them as she straightens in her seat; Rose clears her throat.]

Yeah - [And now she just looks uncomfortable, eyes darting between her seat and the plane door like maybe... she was trying to work out how easy it would be to wedge that bitch open and throw herself out of the plane because that would be easier than this? Just a thought.]

I think I'm going to get a drink. [A beat.] Assuming you haven't drunk the plane dry. [Because one smartmouth comment totally undoes the last five minutes, right?!]

[likedillinger]

There's plenty left. [ probably. maybe. ]

[littledhampir]

You haven't met the rest of the people on this plane. [Spike, Archer, Finnick... seriously.]

Anyway.... [Standing in that awkward way somebody does when trying to balance between seats on a plane.] You should, try and sleep if you can. It'll make the flight go quicker...

[She pauses another moment, mostly so it doesn't look like she's literally making a run for it and then with one last glance in his general direction, Rose is so noping out of this bucket of angst.]
