He didn't bother further contemplating whether or not it was a good or bad omen, or, really, if it was even an omen at all. It was the next second after he had that thought that Arrakis did indeed see one of his blue knights. While that was good, what wasn't good was seeing that blue knight with what looked to be--from Arrakis' limited standpoint--a grave injury. Heart dropping, he made his way over to him and the others as quickly as he could. Once again, Arrakis wished he had an actual name to call this knight, but he was one of his own and that was enough. Arrakis wasn't particularly strong, but he wasn't going to just stand there.
"What kind of assistance can I give you?" he asked the green Great Knight once he got there. "He's one of mine."

"Great. It will only be a matter of time before it tries to tempt another."
Shun let out a breath, listening to the other knights. His gaze eventually fell upon Chel, who was now carrying Chris's body. He caught her look and narrowed his eyes in turn. Nothing was said.
There was no point with that one.

"Please," Chel pleaded quietly. "He is my cousin before he is your knight." As far as she was concerned, Chris belonged to no one, but if she had to play the family card, she would.
She took one more step towards the door, her hand tightly gripped around Chris' arm. He was hers and they were NOT going to take him, her powers; they weren't taking anything. "I'd like some space to tend to him. If he dies in the process, I will bury him." It was likely that Chris was already dead, given his breathing barely hitched, but she said nothing of the inevitability.
There's something stony, lifeless in the way she talks. It isn't the rebel upstart she once was. "Please," she repeated.

It was that lack of energy that made him step up.
"Tend to them," Jack suggested to the other Great Knight, gesturing with his chin towards the rest of the room. "Healing is my purview; making sure they can defend themselves is yours. Do not get distracted by one versus the many who will need guidance." Though it was not lost on him that the way Chel had phrased it, she intended to be the nurse.
More determinedly, for both Chel and Arrakis, he added, "I will do everything I can to make sure he is combat ready again."

Piper took some offense to Ignatius' interrupting stance, but it wasn't as though she could affect the events that played out before them anyway. Now one chick was down and another was gonna rise in her place and the madness was just going to continue.
But damn if that throne didn't look a lot nicer now.
While Arrakis went to check on one of his own, Piper fixed her robes importantly. "Well if she's not gonna sit, I want to," she told the boys as a matter of factly, stepping around the blue knight to trot casually towards the throne.

Arrakis could respect that they were family, and the pleading note in Chel's voice was not lost on him. While he had hardly been suggesting that he take over for them, that he take the injured knight away, he supposed this was one of the times where he would have to sit back and trust others to take care of things. Jack's words were not untrue, after all. As much as there were only half a dozen of his knights, Arrakis couldn't afford to let himself get distracted by one of them being down. After all, what would happen the next time that happened? While the rest of his blue knights were still rather scattered in the earlier confusion, he still owed it to them not to let himself hyperfocus on one of them in particular.
He would have to trust that Jack and Chel would not let anything happen to this knight. If anyone could heal him, it would be Jack. Taking a deep breath, he nodded and stepped back. "Duly noted, and my apologies. You're right." Another deep breath. "Good luck and take care of him." That was directed to both Chel and Jack, and Arrakis turned back around then to address the situation with the rest of his blues. Where were they all? It was time he gathered them together to assess where the rest of them stood. He was aware that his small unit was down at least one member.
...Well... this was one of the biggest reasons he'd balanced them, right...?
Right.
Time to gather them back together. Using his height to his advantage, Arrakis began trying to scout out where the rest of his unit was located.

With merely a grateful look, he turned and followed after Chel. If this was more misplaced loyalties leading him to his doom, well, it wouldn't be the first time.

Frankly, Brenley was right. Ignatius would not have taken well at all to being told not to defend them. This was his duty... And it seemed the only thing he was capable of at the moment, no matter how much he wanted to help.
So when Brenley didn't try to actually stop him, Ignatius offered a grateful grin in his direction. "You're welcome."
Things seemed a bit calmer now, sure, with the throne no longer full of crystals or people, and in fact almost attractive. Sitting on it seemed like it would be comfortable, but Ignatius knew better than to take that kind of action. Whatever had transpired here waa clearly related to that strange throne somehow. So, instead, he'd hold steady.
Well, until Piper the Chickenpoof pushed by him.
"Hey!" Ignatius was protecting them, dammit! He attempted to dash after Piper before she did anything insane, reaching out for her arm to stop her. Even if grasping at her failed, he shouted after her, "You did just see what the hell just happened to everyone else, right?"

He was happy to see the back of the knight with the dying cousin. Her eyes, while not dark and inhuman, were cold. Dangerous. The room was quite lovely without her in it, but not lovely enough to want to lounge around in.
"No no no no no no," he said under his breath, mere steps behind Ignatius. "Nothing good comes of that thing."

Ignatius grabbed ahold of her arm. "Yeah, while the throne was all nasty," Piper pointed out as she shook it off, though at least now she was turned to them. "Now it's glitter and gold, so it's gotta be good, right? Or at least better than earlier. Maybe we ought to take a seat, see what else happens."
A not so collected laugh escaped her. "We already have the sidhe winning and most of the Great Knights dead along with the king. What's the worst that could happen now?"

(I'm back! Sorta... I was gone more hours then I thought I'd be and I'm still not properly home...)
Camilla was willing to sacrifice herself if it meant others could be saved... But she was no fool either! She'd fight tooth and nail to live not just throw her life away and expect to be some martyr! She could only watch in horror as a Knight was impaled by black crystals! It forced her to look back at the Possessed Holly with even more determination! As if she was willing herself to be the next target if it came to that...
Fortunately it didn't but something perplexing and disturbing happened... The power simply vanished... Wait... No... Eyeing the changes in the throne then the changes in the Knight Chel she knew where the power must lie... It was like Shun said... Hiding in plain sight... But... Maybe... She was wrong... No... There could be no doubt! However... Rashness hadn't solved anything and in truth only made things worse... She would tell Shun of her theory and then simply observe...
However now was a moment of sorrow... The Knight impaled seemed to have been Chel's cousin... She could not bare to throw around accusations when knights were suffering such grief... Her eyes shut tight as she bade back tears... They were no her tears to cry and they would solve nothing... Finally she'd relax... And sheathe her weapons before bending down to pick up the unused medical supplies and moving over to Shun "If anybody needs any bandages I have some here..." she says quietly as her head swam in throught...

Two against one, clearly they had the right here. Ignatius may have gotten shaken off, but he positioned his pike in a warning manner... Maybe to show that he'd trip her if she tried.
(Because honestly, hurting other knights was not his job. Maybe stopping other knights from hurting themselves, though. That was in the defense category and was also occasionally heroic.)
"We have new Great Knights," pointed out Ignatius, albeit with little mirth. At least one of them was someone they had befriended. And he was probably going to die. But not all of them had to, right? "Besides, you're not dead. I'd argue the worst that could happen is ending yourself. ... Or someone else."
Like that poor fellow blue brigade knight. Ignatius winced.
