knights are a bit similar! we fight for people, but they're flesh people
usually and tragically most cannot give us SUPER COOL powers. your cause
is rather noble! how did you find out about that? is it,,, common?
i apologize i really don't know much at all about your profession!"
( that's the BEST homebrew also ur interpretation of anna? chef kiss )
─── 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐃, 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐀𝐑 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐒, seeped in an intonation peculiar enough to make Anna’s brows raise a near-inch. The curiosity alleviates into a demure smile at the mention of his noble cause. ❛ Aw, thanks ! And it’s … a long story, a 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 long one, but basically I saved my sister with an ‘𝐀𝐂𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐄 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄.’ ❜ Fingers curl for air-quotes, thinking the phrase to be baronial when the sacrifice itself was a piteous display of stumbling feet and trembling fingertips. ❛ And I’m not good at much else, but I think I’m good at love sooooo I took it up ─ Getting a cool sword is just a bonus. ❜ It takes a moment longer for him to consider the second question, thoughts tilting his head to and fro. ❛ Hm, good question ! I haven’t met another Love-Loving Paladin outside of my kingdom, but to be honest, I think everyone’s got an oath of love in them someway, somehow ! Most people’s got a lot of love to give, right ? ❜ In the depths of his heart, he can only hope it is so, and a stubbornness holds the belief like a child’s fantasy. No, not many have a love that beams in all directions, but how wonderful that reality could be, to have a warmth like sunlight on skin with every interaction. Though, he understands why there’s a lack of it; a heart can have a weight few can bare.
His smile takes on something sheepish. ❛ I feel like I said the word ‘𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄’ a bajillion times right now, aha, sorry. But can you blame me ? ❜ He lightly, most humorously, poses in his armor: bright metals adorned with rose hues and motifs of his distant kingdom. A shrug is coupled with a straightening posture before his smile widens, nose crinkling. ❛ But that’s enough about me ! Tell me about you and your knighthood ─ anything ! ❜ The decorative metal resting on his shoulders unpleasantly clank as he gently bounces on the balls of his feet, easily enthused as always. ❛ Or maybe start off with who or what you’re pledging yourself to ? ❜ A pause as he finally realizes, ❛ 𝐎𝐇 ! Actually, a name would be nice to know first. ❜
having someone who also could ramble a lot was comforting. fitzroy listened to anna speak about his oath with a curious expression which seemed to shift to reflect his thoughts on whatever was being said. for example, he nodded when anna mentioned he thought there was an oath of love within every person. fitzroy knew it was idealistic, but he was sure no matter how nefarious a person was there was some semblance of love within them. in knight school, he had learned about evil-doers && their complex motivations. even if people were very well the worst there was always some form of love within them. though, for some it wasn’t for others but themselves. yet, love is a love is a love. he himself loved a lot of things! he loved justice, he loved his roommates, && he loved listening to the word love. he hoped, in equal parts, a lot of things loved him. that was fairly silly, wasn’t it?
“ i think love is a nice word! one that should be said more often, i believe. it’s really quite interesting that it’s something that- i don’t know, isn’t tied to romance sheerly. i suppose that sounds odd, romance of course can be noble! but, people really undervalue the love we can have for our siblings, though i don’t have any. i have heard that! people can love them a whole lot. i always thought it would be neat to have a sister, or brother, or whatever they so wish to be called- i also think getting a sick-butt sword is also great-”
his knighthood! a small smile, awkward even as he attempted to put into coherent words. he supposes he’s not a knight of traditional manners. a sort-of knight. still, that didn’t have to be known. his name was a good place to start. “sir fitzroy maplecourt, knight of goodcastle! i studied to be a knight at clyde nite knight’s night school. minored in shielding, && such!! i have a lot of fun stories about it, i think. oh, this is very exciting! i haven’t been able to talk about my, little knight-boy adventures!!” argo once said that calling them little knight-boy adventures was a very underwhelming && silly way to describe them, but fitzroy thought it was nice. he was a little knight-boy at the time! about three years younger, in fact!
“ erm, just to be entirely accurate, i hate when people mistitle me, your name is anna, correct? i have heard bits && pieces, but i haven’t really got the full title! i just sort of heard the words, “paladin of love”, thought, hot diggety dog that’s cool! && i guess that’s how we’re here!”
