[phone call]

[Ring, ring, Onion Knight. Squall hears you've decided to serve Gaia's newest Sorceress.]

[He's still not used to the phone. He practically leaps across the room with alarm when the thing starts demanding his attention. But eventually he picks up.]

Hello?

[identity profile] knighted-lion.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Hey.

[At least it's a familiar voice and there's a pause as he figures out how to phrase things.]

Rinoa said... you were going to be Marlene's Knight?

She was scared so- I... said I'd help her, yeah.

[He's ...not quite realized what he's signed himself up for yet.]

[Squall nods, even if he knows it's not going to be noticeable.]

Do you know what a Knight does?

[identity profile] alittletoosmart.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
It's-

[There's an uncharacteristically thoughtful pause.]

-you have to protect something. You're a knight as long as you have something to protect.

[identity profile] knighted-lion.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
That's a start. But once you start, you can't just stop because you're afraid or because you think you aren't doing well enough. And... [this time it's Squall's turn to pause] a Knight keeps a Sorceress balanced. Keeps her ... grounded, I guess. Are you sure you can do that? Because if you don't, it won't be Ultimecia everyone goes after.

I- can do it. I promised I would. I won't let anything happen to her.

[identity profile] knighted-lion.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
Are you sure? It's not a task to be taken up lightly. Can you protect her from herself?

[identity profile] alittletoosmart.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
...from herself? I thought she needed to be protected from- I dunno. Bad people.

[identity profile] knighted-lion.livejournal.com 2011-03-31 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
That too. But when a Sorceress goes rogue... that's when you get something like Adel or Ultimecia.

[identity profile] alittletoosmart.livejournal.com 2011-03-31 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Adel may not be a familiar name to him but Ultimecia certainly is.]

W-wait?! Ultimecia used to be- used to be like Marlene?

[identity profile] knighted-lion.livejournal.com 2011-04-01 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know when she received her powers. Or if she even ever had a Knight. But yes.

[identity profile] alittletoosmart.livejournal.com 2011-04-01 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
If- [Okay so he seems a little but unnerved by that. But promises are serious business. Especially when you've sworn on your title.]

-if it means it'll protect her- protect everyone from another Ultimecia then I have to do it.

[identity profile] knighted-lion.livejournal.com 2011-04-02 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Good. As long as you remember that you'll do alright.
