Shalott had not heard from Caelian in quite a while. She missed having her own person to mentor and guide. As time passed she realized that was when she was happiest. If Tony hadn't been there when she was trying to make her transition she didn't know what she would have done. Maybe she just didn't want to imagine. So when she had Caelian willing to listen, to learn, it made her feel good.
She spotted the woman while thinking about her and chalked it up to some freaky twist of fate. It was not unwelcome in the slightest and she gave a shout, running to catch up to the Squire. Shalott wondered when she'd power up to her next level. Her protege seemed to have mastered what took her more time to get. But, then again, everyone learned things at a different pace. Her priorities were not universal. Everyone was different.
"Caelian!" She slowed as she got nearer, smiling brightly. She even went so far as to hug the Venusian knight. "I was literally just thinking about you and here you are. How have you been?"
If only she knew the changes her mentor had been going through, the stress and the anguish and all of the moral gray lines that seemed to be too hard to switch to black and white. How often had she cried, sworn never to power up again only to find herself patrolling the following night? She didn't mind fighting youma but the members of the Negaverse were off limits to her. Of course, if she developed a reputation of being soft that would make her more of a target and might put her partner and husband in danger.
Sometimes, her head hurt just thinking about being herself.
"I haven't seen you in a while. We should make more of an effort to see one another."

It had been quite a while since Caelian had seen Shalott, and she grinned upon hearing the other woman’s voice, and laughed when she got a hug. “Hey there. How have you been? Is marriage treating you well?” She winked, then took a step back. “I seem to be doing good with my life. Look at the new outfit. I’m getting more stylish by the day, it looks like. I never thought I’d ever get to become a squire. Honestly I’m not quite sure what to do with myself now that I am one!”
The woman laughed, nodding happily. “We really should. Maybe we could make plans to visit each other once a week or something? Or at least call one another that often. I mean…with the war and everything…it’s nice to know that people you care about are safe, right?”
Luckily Caelian had not yet hit any wall of confusion about the war. The lines of black and white were still pretty much set into place for her, and she wasn’t all the concerned with who she was fighting…the people who tried to hurt her and those around her were the ones who were the enemy. That was all there was to it. She had a family to protect, and if she had to fight to protect them, then she would. No matter what.ZaiaFantasy 400 years later ;; I'm so, so sorry for the wait. My Caelian muse is just plain terrible ;;

"Married life is wonderful. Camelot is simply amazing! He's just..."
She trailed off, a dopey and very in love smile on her lips. How did she describe him? He was perfect for her in every way, her partner and best friend. It was very much like a missing puzzle piece had been dropped into place and now she was whole, safe, and loved. The worst part was that before she hadn't even known it was missing.
"It's amazing. I couldn't ask for more."
It was true. On that side she had zero complaints. Everything was Ozzie and Harriet with her beloved Tony and she basked in the day to day routine. So long as she had him and their house and Dogby somewhere close by it was all ok by her. She did notice a change in Caelian's costume and smiled broadly at it. It took a few moments to sink in what that meant and how it had changed. She looked very pretty.
"A squire! How exciting! Now we're just the same!"
Though Shalott wasn't sure she'd ever make it to knight with the way she was feeling lately. Everything about the war was confusing and painful. She knew that battles had their cost now and that the people she knew in her day to day were people she could be fighting on the battlefield. It was a chance that petrified her pretty much into inaction.

“Oh I bet it is!” Caelian couldn’t stop herself from gushing just a little bit. She was a bit jealous of Shalott, to be honest. She wished that she could have been married, at least once in her life…but. That could still happen, right? If Mr. Right ever came into the picture, she could see herself settling down and getting married. Maybe.
There was a broad grin on Caelian’s face when Shalott complimented that she had become a Squire, she was absolutely proud of this fact, and wanted to flaunt it to as many people as possible. “You know, you’re the first one that I’ve showed! I wanted you to see it first, I feel like you’re my closest friend in all of this…this knight stuff.” She laughed.
She still wasn’t completely sure how it had happened, but she wasn’t complaining, she felt…impressive now. Or at least a little more impressive than she had been before…even if she still only had a powder puff to use to defend herself.
Though, if that was what she was given, she would find a way to manage, that much was for sure.

"I'm honored."
Shalott smiled at Caelian, happy to have a friend in all this nonsense. Happy to be a friend in all this nonsense. As many curve balls as this job could throw she knew the importance of having someone to rely on that could understand. And her fellow Squire did look rather lovely in her upgraded costume.
"Happy to help, anyway."
Shalott remembered the first time she powered up to Squire proudly. The first person she'd wanted to show was her husband. It was a proud day for her and a good moment when she saw pride in his eyes as well. The thought made her blush. She could certainly understand wanting to share the moment with someone that could appreciate it and was glad the Venus knight chose her.
"I'm here for you any time, Caelian. Just send me a note and I'm there."
She turned and started strolling, hoping the other knight would walk with her. The park was lovely at night and the moon was shining through the trees. Sometimes it was enough just to stop and smell the roses, so to speak.
"How have you been, my dear? Besides powering up is there anything new?"
