Bigfoot? Hell-bugs? Ilmare (very) briefly considered asking, but then decided that… No. No, she would not be doing that. Information might be power, but it was also an open invitation for trouble when she least expected it. In this instance, she decided ignorance might not be bliss, but it certainly meant less complications.
She was, however, a little taken aback by just how quickly Ekstrom seemed to recover her poise. Clearly, this girl’s cheerfulness was on steroids.
“You sure?” she asked at having her hand pushed away. “I mean, I’m super thankful, but you sure? You won’t get in trouble for giving me a weapon?”
Were the positions flipped, Ilmare was pretty certain she’d have been skinned by her higher ups. Though… given the weird tree monsters not being Negaverse… maybe not? She wasn’t going to think about it. Instead, she clutched the little torch and listened to Ekstrom. Wine and a book did sound nice, though not exactly Ilmare’s style. But a hot bath, a pint of cookie dough ice cream and something trashy on Netflix? Yes, please!
Grinning and stretching, the corrupt senshi decided that most Order folks weren’t so bad. She felt that Ekstrom was one of those rare types she could call an ally and mean it. If it weren’t for the whole order and chaos thing, she would have been happy to call the other girl a friend.
Hell, she still might. It was always good to have friends on the other side.
“Oh, you will,” Ilmare said with a wink. “I’ll just turn up randomly, like a bad penny, and help you kick some monster’s a**. Stay safe!”
With that last, Ilmare turned and gave the knight a wave before walking briskly away. She really wanted that bath!

”Get in trouble?” she chortled, but gently shook her head. “No, I don’t think so. I don’t really answer to anyone, as far as I know, so I’ll be okay.” That…was actually something she’d been curious about of late. There had to have been more order among the knights back in the day; that’s what made sense to her, so there must have been some kind of leader or governing body or…something..
Maybe.
She let the thought pass, not wanting to get too lost in her own thoughts right then, and when Ilmare confirmed that they’d meet again at some point, she looked delighted at the idea.
“Looking forward to it, then. You stay safe, too!”
Ekstrom hung back, watching until the other was completely out of sight before sighing and turning to head home as well. Her thoughts had wandered back to the idea of there being some kind of knight leadership in the past as she watched, and she turned it over in her mind the entire way home.
“There’s probably something there that I could look into,” she murmured as she went. momentarily forgetting about that well-earned hot bath.
