Erytheia had been donning his knight's uniform more and more frequently. The page would summon his weapon almost like it was normal. But he knew it wasn't. There was always this tearing feeling like this was not who he was or where he belonged. Talking to another knight of Cosmos, the code at Olympus, his wonder even... These were supposed to reassure him. And, in a way, they each had. But they each also brought deeper and deeper questions. A rising uncertainty that threatened to destroy him from the inside like a fire. As he walked in the park, he wondered how he would deal with all of this. Nature was supposed to clear his head like it did when he was just Alphonse, the young man. Yet as Erytheia, the knight, it was not. He felt suddenly alone as he recalled that no one but himself knew about this increasingly present side of his life. ✪

Celsus's lone patrols had grown more frequent as of late, now that Emrys was capable of handling things on his own - or with Eurydike. And while Celsus still worried more like a mother hen and less like a twin brother, he was trying not to be completely overbearing.
Especially not with a wedding coming up.
The park was, as it always had been, Celsus's favorite place to go when on patrol. There was something soothing about the trees, and about the feel of the wind on his face as he walked, the scent of flowers and fresh air and fall weather coming closer. He was not good at stealth; the jingling coins on his uniform were enough to alert anyone of his presence, unless he took the trees, as he sometimes did. But it didn't matter; it was a quiet night.
There was another person here, this late at night, though the power signature was significantly weaker than Celsus's. He crossed a dirt pathway and made his way towards it, the clean, bright aura evidence of another Order member. The young man was unfamiliar, but Celsus came to him anyways, curious and friendly.
"Good evening," he said lightly. "What brings you out today?"

Erytheia could feel the other friendly aura and knew it was another knight. He had met one other that had such a pure aura and knew one of high rank was approaching. The feeling was warm and the sound of tinkling metal, soothing. "Me? I was just thinking," the page replied. He looked a bit flustered, his cheeks beginning to flush. He was unsure exactly how to address the knight. The glowing marks, which he now knew to be a sign of transcendence, were oddly reassuring and strenghened his resolve a bit. "I don't really know what I am doing here. I haven't seen so much as a youma all night."He looked wistfully up at the stars before speaking again. "What brings you out here tonight?"✪

It was a page, it seemed, and a young one at that. Celsus let his gaze drift across the flustered expression and raised his eyebrows, trying to discern to which he was aligned. He'd met enough knights now to be able to recognize the majority of their uniforms, after all; and if he wasn't mistaken, this particular page hailed from a loyalty to Cosmos herself.
"Thinking is good," said Fritz amicably. "Sometimes thinking gets the best of us, admittedly, but sometimes people think too little, and then it becomes a rather large problem. I would hope that it's neither in your case, and that you are merely thinking because that is what people do."
He gave a bright smile to the page, and then laughed, the sound echoing through the silent park.
"Not every night brings youma," he said, Celsus's eyes twinkling. "You should be grateful you have not had the misfortune of running into one every day; they can be vile, unpleasant creatures, and some are extremely powerful as it is. You are new, are you not? You should take caution."
The coins on Celsus's uniform jingled merrily, and he smiled again, at ease and comfortable.
"Patrolling, what else?" he said, and then inclined a head towards the other.
"I'm Celsus, Knight of Chronos. And you are...?"

Erytheia smiled wide as he was reassured by the knight's laughter. "I was certainly thinking far too much."Sometimes he needed such small reminders that not everything was something to worry about. He had a persistent habit of stressing over everything, especially these days. So much had happened in such a short time, after all. "Erytheia, page of Cosmos." He replied, finally allowing his posture to be at ease. "I have only known I was a knight for about six months now and haven't met many others. At least, not on Earth." The young man corrected himself and thought about those he had met in the past. None had the same symbol that the man had on his uniform. "You said you are a knight of Chronos, right? I have only heard of knights aligned with her, but never met one myself." ✪

He made a mental note to remind himself of Erytheia, Page of Cosmos, because it was not a name that he knew very well and the only Knights of Cosmos that Celsus was aware of was Mag Mell, and Hvergelmir through vague mention and associations.
As always, when the princess was mentioned, something in Celsus's smile transformed.
"The Lady Chronos is the Lady of the Seasons," he said with pride. "She is a lovely and wonderful human being that I have had the privilege of knowing. The Knights of Chronos are loyal to her, but we are also loyal to those of Order in general. I very much wish happiness upon all of us, and not just those of Chronos."

Happiness.Erytheia wanted that very much, but it seemed so far away. The page was never happy when he was stressed - and that was quite a bit lately. Still, the thought of it existing was enough to make him crack a small, genuine smile. "Your Lady Chronos... You seem to like her very much."For a brief moment, he thought of Cosmos, but he banished the thought from his mind quickly. He had said he wouldn't think so much, hadn't he? Besides, Celsus's smile had changed in a way that made him quite curious. ✪
