"Passage through the forest and mountains would be faster, most likely," he added before looking to Johan and the one dark haired girl. Shun huffs lightly. He had been planning on going at this alone, honestly. He didn't really need help.
"Fine. Just do not fall behind."
He gave pause as the really tall guy asked about being allies.
"Technically speaking, we all are."
A quick shot was given towards Shayne. To him, friends and allies were not one and the same. He took some more time to study the map, then exited the room.

Estel nodded. "Don't leave without me."
Before leaving the room, she paused by Shayne. He looked so rejected... it felt familiar, that look on his face. Too familiar. "Thank you. For helping him." Smiling, she hurried on out.

Extremely deliberate would never sound good. Jack made a small face, considered the map again, and then remembered that regardless of their lack of clues, they'd need to venture out.
"Good luck with your search," he told the group of...injured apprentices. They'd probably need it.
Belatedly he realized there was a willowy man addressing him, and he gave a slight shrug in response. "We'll see if I'm capable. Good luck with your search too, if you're attempting."
With that, the giant ducked out of the room.

Johan followed Shun and the dark-haired lady as they looked over the map. He studied what lay in each direction, but had nothing to add to the discussion of the where the Great King may have gone.
At the lady's protest, Johan looked from his shoulder to the map. Really there was no comparison in the importance of their priorities.
"It's just a flesh wound. If it worries you so, I'll let you attend to it in a second." he assured her, then looked to Shun. "I'll arrange for the provisions and meet you at the gates."
After Shun left, Johan returned to the chair, and waved to the black-haired Lady.
"Thank you for your concern, Lady -?" he told her. "Can you sew and bandage this quickly? I don't wish to waste a single moment."
As soon as his shoulder and side were bandaged, Johan thanked Estel, and ran to the Quartermasters.

Rhiannon had been listening to all that went on, standing in a corner and observing as her earlier companion Estel had been whisked away by the sudden appearance of many other knight-apprentices. She felt a little disappointed, but knew deep down that this is exactly what would happen. One minute you're with someone, and the next, they're gone.
Her ears perked up once she heard the Great Knights mention something about a "quest". Maybe it would be worth going herself...

(And now I feebly attempt to jump back in on this hah hah... hah...)
Camilla had been intent on socializing really she had but after realizing she was dressed much then everybody else in the room it had her wondering why... It was then that she really started to think about what she didn't know and soon a musing frown appeared on her face as a hand went to her chin
Who was she before becoming a Knight-Apprentice? She... Couldn't remember... right after the pledge she had been feeling so good and was so curious she hadn't stopped to think about it till now... looking down Camilla finally noticed the money pouch full of gold with what appeared to be some sort of coat of arms on it the imagery seemed almost familiar but every time she tried to remember where she got the money or what the imagery on the bag meant she was met with nothing but a empty sort of fog in her head... and it didn't just stop at the bag either she couldn't remember where she came from, where her standing in life was, or why she was so richly dressed... finally though after much musing she decided that there must be a reason she couldn't remember these things and that it must not be important
Unfortunately because of her musing Camilla had missed out on catching a lot of names and it was only after a large hulk of a man with a loud voice came in that she was pulled from her thoughts "Hm?!" she hums in surprise however that was all she said as she watched the spectacle unfold she couldn't help but giggle a bit at his antics finding this Sir Robert fellow quite amusing however she stayed politely back not wanting to push into any ongoing conversations and soon enough returned her attention back to the book on herbs
The call for a medic had gotten her attention but like a few others she had no real medical skills to speak of... that she knew of anyway... She was relieved when that was resolved but a unexpected surprise soon followed! Two of the Great Knights Gwain and Galahad graced them with their presence! Well one graced the other grumped Camilla was thoroughly glad now she had chosen the Lion to follow the news of the King being missing was quite troubling however and hearing that quests find him were being given out excited her! Yet...
After the Great Knight's left Camilla as excited for adventure and exploration as she was didn't quite feel ready yet for a full on quest... She still hadn't really socialized with anybody and somehow... that felt odd to her... Many people who had been in the War Room were now leaving for quests but some people were still here! Determinedly Camilla closes and shelves the book before looking towards the red haired and pale skin boy with a smile "Heh I've been standing here all this time but I fear I've not given my name out! I'm Camilla, Camilla Forester!" she laughs then says politely to the boy however she said it loudly enough that anybody nearby might hear it
(Camilla said her name loudly enough that anybody in the room who wants to hear it and chat with her can!)

[Joy Exits]
Joy gestured to the group gathered around the map, "I think they have that well in hand." A presence was suddenly by her feet, and Joy glanced down to find another fellow apprentice. She blinked, giving him an amused smile and a return wave.
And just like that, everyone seemed to have decided to leave. "Godspeed," she bade to the flail-wielder (who was taller than her by almost half a foot. Then she turned to the axe-wielder, "If the King doesn't want to be found, it's going to take a lot of us to find him. Care to pair up?" she request as she strode outside.

Shayne turned to Camilia and gave her a blinked stare for a bit. That name seem so familiar to him. However, he didn't know where he heard it from. "I-I'm Shayne McQueen." He finally replied to the well-dressed girl. "Nice to meet you." He added with a shy smile as he held out his hand to her.

Camilla smiles cheerfully however as she hears his name a slight nagging feeling of familiarity hits her but only for a few seconds before it was gone she blinks for a moment before pushing the feeling away "Nice to meet you Shayne!" she says happily the shyness from the boy went unnoticed and after looking around the room briefly she returns her attention to him "I fear I was wrapped up in my own thoughts before and missed most of the conversations hah hah! So if you don't mind me asking why did you choose to become a Knight-Apprentice?" she asks in a cheerful yet polite tone

[ Maple entering ]
Too long did it seem that she had decided to remain in the great hall before venturing further into the castle. At least that's what it seemed to her, and by the time she had finally chosen a destination it seemed to had missed at least a little something. (Though, not like she knew anything about it, that group had already departed by the time she entered the room).
Silently, she poked her head past the threshold of the door, getting a general lay of the room before she properly entered. Inside, Maple found herself looking at what seemed like a tornado had struck. There were pages everywhere and inks and quills upon most of the surfaces - tables and floor alike. Carefully, she made her way through, no set course in mind but at least tried not to step on parchment; mostly in fear of damaging something important.
There weren't too many others with her, she realized but she only made a small effort in greeting them with a soft, "H-hello..." It would have been perfectly fine too if they ignored her or something. She was.. just going to mill around the room for a little bit and all.
Oh hey, were those books?

Despite the sun filtering through the narrow windows, it felt cold. There was an unpleasant, stifling atmosphere in the air, thicker than even any animosity within the castle. It felt like something was pressing down on everyone, covering them with a horrific feeling of dread. It felt like they had forgotten something very important, and that piece of knowledge was trying to worm its way back to consciousness.
And then in the distance, something pounding against the main gates.
Thump.
Thump.
CRASH.
The entire castle foundations shook, and immediately the remaining Great Knights scrambled towards the of the sound. Some where shouting commands, something about an attack, and others something about defending.
Nobody had seen it coming.

THE SIEGE BEGINS SOON
gaia_crown[ PREPARING FOR A SIEGE ]
- The castle is under heavy assault! While the gates are still unbroken, there is time for PREPARATION. Your character has a few options at this moment. Consider this a BRIDGE moment to the next big installment of the event (the actual siege). Here are some things you can do for your character to prepare (these are all optional, but good prompts for those looking for the roleplay/interaction).
gaia_star[ UPDATING YOUR JOURNAL ] You can update your chapter journal with a quick solo as your knight gears up and prepares for battle. This would just be a quick solo of them preparing/grabbing items/weapons/ etc etc. As they prepare, for a moment they remember something important, fleeting, something extremely urgent - it is gone before they can recall it entirely but it leaves them feeling like they have forgotten something critically important.
gaia_star[ PREPARATION PRP ] You can PRP with other knights to prepare for siege HERE. Trade information you've learned so far, gather supplies, try and find weapons/items to use, time is of the essence!
gaia_star[ DEFENDING THE CASTLE RAMPARTS ] The castle walls themselves need defense! Go HERE to try and salvage what you can. Beware: if you do, any damage you take will carry over to the actual siege!
gaia_star[ Remaining in the intro orp ] You can still RP in these intro orps if you wish, but rp with a minor sense of urgency. Though, if any Great Knight catches you slacking, you can imagine you will be kicked out of knight-apprenticeship faster than you can say Where in the King's name is the Great King?
[Shayne Exit stage left] Shayne looked away from the girl with a sad expression on his face. "I wish that I know the reason. I don't like fighting, battling, or hurting people." The redheaded boy told her. "However, I believe it's a sample reason." He added as he finally turned around with a soft smiled. "It's probably to protect a love one or a dear friend. Since I dislike seeing people hurt and suffering." Then he let out a smell laugh. "Yet I don't even remember who's I'm protecting." A sad expression washed back over his face.
However; the sad expression didn't last long as a pounding sound coming from main gate. "What's going on out there?" Shayne asked as he turned around to look outside the window. However; when he got to the window, an expression of fear cover his face. "W-We have a big trouble on our hand. Lady Camilla!" Shayne told her as he doesn't even realize that he said "Lady" in front of Camilla. "We need to get ready and fast!" He added as he grabbed Camilla's hand and ran toward the door.

One hand had managed to pull one of the old dusty tomes off the shelf when the pressure began to weight heavily upon the meek girl, almost making her drop the object all together. Maple let out a gasp, instead bringing the book close to her chest and squeezing it. Her eyes shut tightly and she shook her head, trying desperately to get the feeling to go away. Something was forgotten. Something important. Why was she suddenly thinking about it? Stopstopstop.
A pounding noise finally snapped her out of her thoughts and back into the reality around her and her head turned towards the direction. There was concern in her eyes and she merely remained silent as the knights scrambled to arms. Should she go? It was tempting to remain hidden inside the room. Safe.
But no. She shook her head again. She was appointed to be a knight-apprentice. And that meant to follow orders and help. Maple took in a deep breath, put the book gently on a nearby table and hurried after the others.

The sad expression and admission to not like battling surprised Camilla subconsciously her hand went to the hilt of her Rapier and she looked down at it for a moment feeling a sense of pride and happiness as she did before looking at Shayne again with a frown "I quite enjoy battling myself not hurting people mind you but the thrill of battle is wonderful! ...I think..." she says with confidence until the last bit at least... somehow memoryless or not she knew she loved the thrill of combat
Now however something else was troubling her... She had asked him the question without knowing the answer herself... a musing expression washes over her face as she tried to think just why she became a Knight-Apprentice herself however no exact reason would come to her... But Shayne's words of protection and protecting stuck firm in her mind and soon she felt that must be the reason "I... can't say with certainty that I know why I became a Knight-Apprentice but... like you I think I joined to protect others! Though I'm not sure if it extends to just one particular person or to Camelot as a whole..." she admits in a musing tone
However before she could muse on any of it further a strange feeling suddenly washed over her "Ah?" she says as a hand goes to her head at first it was just strange but it slowly got heavier and heavier before becoming filled with dread "Ah Shayne! Do you feel that?" she asks in a hushed voice before her eyes widen as the feeling takes on a completely different tone it felt like something... no not just something... A memory was trying to claw it's way out of her mind! One that was dreadfully important! She tried to grasp it to pull it forwards but before she could even take hold of it the feeling was gone... "Ah..." she mutters in confusion however she didn't have long to be confused!
Thunk
Thunk
Boom!
"Eep!" she squeaks wide eye'd and alert as a hand naturally shot to her weapons "What in the name of the Great King was that!?" she says turning towards the windows her expression grew serious as she saw smoke rising from the wall "We're under attack! C'mon Shayne we have to see whats going on!" she says urgently before making her way out of the War Room as unremembered instincts kicked in
