Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ignatius wasn't sure how much he wanted to go questing at the moment, all things considered.

Still, it was useful to get his mind back in the game and off concerns of the deaths of the few people he had attempted to grow close to, even with as few memories as he had managed to recover. It gave him a goal, too, to get the full set of armour he noticed so many others seemed to have already. He would join them soon, once he had a few more pieces...

He marched over to his horse, preparing him for another trip up the familiar trail, when he saw someone nearby with a long cape that caught his attention easily. They were also singing absolutely awfully, but that didn't matter quite so much as what he was wearing

Wow...

Was that a piece of armour he could get too? He wanted to get a wing cape like he was a heroic knight too...

Though some of the obscene cheer might have come off to others as totally inappropriate considering the circumstances, Ignatius was actually quite alright with it.

In fact, it caused Ignatius to grin back, lifting his hand for a rather cheerful wave. Finally, someone else had it right. Panicking wouldn't help. Being nervous or terrified wouldn't help. Finding the good things and being optimistic would certainly do the trick.

"I did, actually! Was about to go up the mountain again," because that answered the second question, too. "I'm missing a few armour pieces and that seems to be the place to get them."

Awkwardly, Ignatius attempted to show what armour pieces were clearly not fancy and therefore missing from his get up.

"You?"

The horse had a name? Damn, Ignatius' didn't. Was he supposed to name it? He glanced over his shoulder at his own horse, who honestly just looked quite unamused. Probably because it didn't seem fond of the mountains, even if this one had stopped running away...

Oh, right, someone was offering their hand. Ignatius snapped out of his distracted daze to offer his hand in turn. "Ignatius Svarog," stated Ignatius, confidently, taking Mmur's hand and offering it a shake. "It's a pleasure."

It certainly was a pleasure to meet fellow Knights who did not seem to be letting themselves get down. It was refreshing, considering the current situation was even causing Ignatius to struggle. Perhaps, they were all starting to grow weary.

His least successful trip had been with another, but it couldn't hurt that badly, right? Besides, that stupid fire beast kept throwing him off... "Bringing someone else along could be mutually beneficial." Not that Mmur seemed to need any more armour pieces, but it sounded good.

Ignatius looked over to his horse, who snorted at him. Well. Okay. The knight trudged over and murmured a, "Quiet you," to the horse, before jumping up and swinging onto its back. Done.

Sunset was a nice thing to pretend about. There was no sun anymore. It didn't mean he couldn't imagine it or pretend he felt its warmth on his skin. He wished he could feel it, actually. Seeing his reflection, with many of his freckles fading or fading due to the lack of sunlight to encourage their production, was almost terrifying.

Before they were expected was closer to the truth, though, and he accepted it with a nod before following after Mmur.

The idea of a pink cow drew a loud cackle of laughter from Ignatius. Pink cows? Ah, how he wished he could see that. "Perhaps an overuse of strawberry juices!" But what he did? That was a harder question.

Honestly, he hadn't the faintest clue. "I wish I could say I knew. None of my memories have been particularly relevant." Ignatius frowned. "All I know is that I've always been a bit boisterous."

Ah well, he supposed. Ignatius was a Knight now.

Ignatius definitely did not have an issue with how nicely their path seemed to be going. The less trouble they were having, the better, after all! Hopefully he wouldn't see any fire beasts while he was with Mmur, those things were incredibly annoying.

It may have not been the most brilliant of military strategies, but it earned a laugh from Ignatius anyway. "Distraction tactics! Those can always be useful. Perhaps we should try some of those on those damn shadowlings." Or horsemen. Or sidhe. Or whatever was going to try to kill them all next. At least food didn't kill them! And it was on the same spot of the path he always seemed to find food, interestingly enough.

Food didn't just magically appear there when he came by, right? It had to have been left there. But maybe it was a magically regenerating pile? That would be fascinating. Perhaps it was a useful side effect of all the other things that were going on.

Right. Boar. Angry boar.

Ignatius aimed his pike and attempted to run through the thing before it had time to attack, shouting back behind him like what he was doing took little effort, "We need everyone right now! Only united will we win, I think!" As much as he would have to admit he would much rather not be doing any of this...

It would have been nice if the fire beast went after the boar, but of course it didn't. Ignatius stealed himself to attack it or even to run, but instead, Mmur shot at it and took it down. Oh. Okay.

Shrugging, Ignatius followed afterwards, happy that his horse hadn't fled in fear in the process. Indeed, he was able to make it the rest of the way to the top without any further trouble, even from his horse. Huh. This trip seemed to go a lot better than the trip with Arrakis had. Perhaps it was because they were stronger?

Ignatius hopped off his horse, venturing around to find his next piece of armour. He knew he was only missing a few pieces at this point...

Aha!

The knight scooped up a gauntlet, happily showing it off. "I've got this! It's got some kind of weird snake on it. With fins." It was an electric eel, but Ignatius didn't really know that.

"It was," which was kind of weird, all things considered. Up until now, everything had been generally out to get them, but it seemed Mmur and Ignatius had handled that quite, well handily!

Worked for him.

Still, Mmur was right, and they should likely be getting back. After putting on his gauntlet, Ignatius headed back to his still unnamed horse and mounted them.

"Let's go!"
