The newest member of the Hidden Falls speaks well. He has manners and grace, and wit to match. He is not short of riddles or compliments, of confidence or contribution. So Knox doesn't hesitate, doesn't consider that he'll much want to keep the dagger at the end of their little play-match. No, surely Lotherarius isn't a traitor. His eyes cease their pinching stare and he looks to the side, into the woods and towards the crashing sound of the falls, and wonders what is next for him in the day. He has a few more words, another riddle to spare, but not much patience and not much intention to linger.
"Is that a spark in your eyes?
I can't even see if you're looking at me under that tangled veil.
Are you a mirror? Funny, I don't see my reflection in you.
Still we share the same loss,
and for that I will comfort you my lady."
Knox considers the stallion's thoughts on the dagger. So he does not realize, then, that this weapon bears particular significance. Best to educate then, isn't it? If he can fight through the pain of that memory, if he can...
{Huric:} Go on.
"This dagger was formed from a very special war. The fang of the blade belonged to a foreign god that felled many brave souls that fought for this land.
{Manhattan:} Like me.
His throat catches and his eyes swell; he shuts them in firm denial. "Should you earn it, you would be expected to fight with the same temerity." His teeth grind, his lips smack. Softly, he exhales.
{Manhattan:} Like me.
