[color=778899]“Indeed it will,”[/color] Amaryllis replied, her own face flushed obviously by the glory of victory and the warmth of the sun. [color=778899]“Well, if you will excuse me, the sun has still not yet reached its apex, and the day’s duties have not yet been dealt with in full yet. As such, I must depart, Hunter Rina. May h-”[/color]

Before the Knight of Rose could properly make her exit, however, the pilot of the war machine emerged once more, offering a hand and some celebratory alcohol. With peppy neon blue twintails and a body almost (but not quite) as bodacious as Amaryllis’s own, she certainly looked at odds with the war machine she summoned, but a lady was a lady, and a knight would be remiss to introduce herself properly before her. With one smooth movement, the swordmaiden knelt on one knee, took the offered hand, and pressed her lips chastely against the back of the woman’s hand. Around the two, rusted petals fell at an angle, blown by an unfelt wind, as Amaryllis turned her midnight gaze unto Penny.

[color=778899]“A pleasure to make the acquaintance of a fellow Saintess of Steel,”[/color] she spoke, [color=778899]“I shall certainly remember the thunderous aid you’ve provide in the vanquishing of that wretched beast. I am Amaryllis Evenings, Knight of Rose, Swordbearer and Chainholder. If you ever find yourself in a situation like this once more, simply call my name, and I shall be there, clad in Silverlight and Sacraments.”[/color]

Standing up once more, she released her hold on Penny’s hand and turned her palm skywards. Within, a rusted rose budded, then bloomed, manifesting in a way that could only be considered hypnotic, and with a casual, practiced motion, the Knight pinned the metallic flower into Penny’s hair, turning away in that same motion.

[color=778899]“Alas, though to drink with two beauties would certainly be heaven for any individual of taste, the tragedies of the world continue on regardless of my desire for leisure. As such, I shall bid you two farewell. The Goddess calls, and I must answer her pleas.”[/color]

Her speech concluded, the Knight of Rose kicked off the Earth Bastion, somersaulted twice, and bounded off into the distance, a blue blur trailed by scarlet petals.

Couldn’t afford to be any later to her classes than she already was, after all.
