Satsume hated flying.
Maybe it was the tendency of his heavy armor to send him to the ground with less than grace. Maybe it was that pegasus ride he went on as a youth that sent him plummeting into a fir tree. Whatever the case, he kept his arms clasped around the midsection of the knight in front of him as the wyvern touched down - probably longer than he should have.
"Um... we've arrived," said the knight. "You can dismount now."
Satsume muttered an embarrassed "oh" as he gingerly swung his leg around and leapt to the ground. Ahead of him, Cecily was already being greeted by a foppish gentleman with extravagant clothing.
“Lord Faren,” she said politely. Satsume noted that her tone of voice was the same she used with him when she was being sarcastic.
“If I may be so bold to ask how you ended up in this motley company?” asked Lord Faren, as the remainder of the party gathered before him.
I should make a mental note of how many times this guy is gonna talk down to us, thought Satsume. He took his place by Cecily’s side and folded his arms.
“Satsume Hinoka,” Cecily said, gesturing in Satsume’s direction. Satsume’s expression contorted as he heard his surname mispronounced. He opened his mouth, but stopped short of speaking. Later, he told himself.
He nodded in Faren’s direction. “Milord.”
Faren gave Satsume a brief glance in acknowledgement, then turned his attention to receiving Shad and Maria. I’m already not a fan of this fop, Satsume decided silently.
“Please, Lady Cecilia – do stay for the night. I have already made arrangements for your lodging prior to the ball. And besides,” he took her hand and gently kissed it. “…we have much to catch up on.”
Satsume looked past Faren, to the pair of halberdiers standing guard at the castle’s entrance. Their armor was decorated with various studs and ribbons in the colors of Faren’s own elaborate garb. Their stern, level expressions were the only thing that wasn’t loud about them. My condolences, gentlemen.
As a couple of castle pages tended to the group’s belongings, Satsume and the group followed Faren into the castle towards their quarters.
