An Ivalacian Knight in King Death's Resort(?) [June 7, video]

[gallant_guardian]

[A woman opens the channel and peers grimly into the crystal. Though at the moment she doesn’t know yet that she’s turned it on. Instead, she seems to be indirectly addressing a person explaining what it does.]

So, this device is a means of conveying instantaneous information? I had heard such tales as possible, but could never scarce believe I would see such a marvel. Aside from Marach’s toad, surely.

[Her eyes narrow a bit and she begins talking into it as though it were a horn.]

Ah… if any should hear this, I would like for you to respond in kind. Though I have no reason to doubt the veracity of my guide’s claims, it would be very much to my benefit to bear witness to this marvel’s ability to transmit another’s visage. Surely were such a means common in Ivalice, the stratagems of the battlefield would greatly benefit.

[There’s a pause as the knight appears to be watching for any signs of life. After getting some, or perhaps after the thought had occurred, she decided to addL]

I have also heard that dissidents have brought war to the people of this city. I would like to speak with the commander in charge of administrating peace in order to assess how he plans on preparing the city and what other benefit I may be to their aid.

That will be all. For now.

I thank you marm. [And Aqua gets a small salute.]

Agrias Oaks of Lesalia, if it pleases.

[Oh. She's seen Keroro do that before...

She gives a rather amateurish salute in return.]

My name is Aqua, I'm currently the Zone Leader of the Inner Residential District.

[gallant_guardian]

Ah... [well, that, at least, was something she knew and recognized!] So you are a knight, Marm Aqua?

[ video; ]

[blue_wayfinder]

Not really.

It's a little complicated.

[gallant_guardian]

'tis that answer customary in this land?

[Because that didn't make sense. Not even a little...]

[blue_wayfinder]

Sometimes. We're all from different worlds, so what's normal in one world won't be in another.

I know I've read in some history books that only knights or squires receive formal training in fighting, but even though I received training like that back home, I was never a knight.

All of us in the Watch come from different backgrounds. I don't think I know anyone who was a knight, actually.

[gallant_guardian]

Ah. [There was more in those six words than she had any knowledge of.]

I had heard of kingdoms without knights, but never would have imagined I would find myself in one. 'tis a sobering idea.

[Her eyes quirk a little. Is Aqua trying to recruit?]

[ video; ]

[blue_wayfinder]

Are you also a knight?

[Well, if given the chance she'll definitely try. Right now though, she's more curious about the kind of world this woman came from.]

[ video; ]

[gallant_guardian]

Yes, I am.

[In training if not in title.]

[ video; ]

[blue_wayfinder]

That's amazing. The training must have been tough.

[ video; ]

[gallant_guardian]

It was necessary to fulfill my duty.

[But yeah, it probably was.]

[ video; ]

[blue_wayfinder]

That doesn't make it any less impressive.

[ video; ]

[gallant_guardian]

Perhaps.

[Only a small smirk.]
