Godiva continues her work on Ferdiad, moving to G17, using Heal, and then canto'ing to E17

"Don't fret Knight, I've got you." Godiva moves to H18 and uses her Healing Staff on Ferdiad, then cantos back to H21.

Godiva moves to L21 and makes sure her hatchet is equipped.

Despite being in the midst of her continued surprise at how far gone her uncle truly was, Shin's tapping was enough to launch Godiva back to reality, the noble blinking rapidly as she looked at Shin, then to the ingredient in question, giving a hesitant shrug as her answer, "I'm really not sure. I've never had something like it in my meals before, and truthfully... I'm not keen to start" she admitted, letting out a sigh at his second question, "I'm just... I never thought my Uncle go to the lengths he has. I knew he had done some questionable acts, such as declaring war, but going this far? I can't even begin to comprehend the logic."

For her part, Godiva had to agree with Arthur's comment about too many bodies in the kitchen. She wanted to get to know the group, yes, but butting in to that was probably not the best choice. Of course, that was before they all sat down to eat, and although she could see the amount of work and love put into the meal, it was... An oddity, that's for sure. But she was too polite to comment on it. She didn't even have much of a chance before Kane burst back into the room, causing the noble to freeze midbite, slowly returning her utensil while Virtuous reacted to the sudden news, face falling as she quickly began piecing together who they were talking about, "Wait, Stella? Queen Stella of Ceda? Why would Uncle..." she started, only to trail off as she glanced towards her cousin. She knew her Uncle, the King, was becoming far more paranoid as the years went by, but today she had learned of two deeds that she couldn't even fathom anyone doing. And yet they had happened. Even her Uncle knew the ramifications towards imprisoning another kingdom's Queen.

With Arthur's comment about cooking, Godiva turned back to Shin and the small group that had formed around him, finally taking note of what they seemed to be doing when they eventually split off and prepare, "Oh, it looks like they are" she noted, moments before her face lit up with an idea, the noble clapping her hands together as she did so, "Oh! Perhaps we should help out with the cooking! It would certainly be a fantastic high note to end the night on."

“... Huh. In that case, I’ll make sure to keep an eye on him. I know how injuries tend to look anyway, so I’m sure I can do a good job of noticing, even if he tries to hide it from me" Godiva stated, taking a moment to follow Arthur's glance at the purple haired man, taking note of how he looked before tilting her head in thought, "In fact, I should probably check up on him later. That poison seemed like pretty nasty stuff. He seems fine, but no telling if it's completely out of his system yet."

Spray For a moment, Sakuya was silent as she watched Mitsu head through the Mirror, face returning to that of sadness before she turned to Spray, bringing a hand to her chin as she thought about his questions, “Ah, yes, hm… I don’t believe there’s any true pay, but if you truly desire some form of payment, then… Well, you may have to discuss it with your companions. As for Saigai-no-Mitsurugi… Although I have been graced with the knowledge of much of her past, there is still much I do not know. Mitsurugi is a Kami, with her domain being that of disasters. As awful as that may sound, it’s a natural part of life, and her presence ensured that the lands would be spared from worse disasters than ones brought by her hand. But eventually, she was cut from her faith, and is but a shadow of her former self. A Kami needs faith to function, and without it… They’re doomed to fade away” With that, Sakuya dropped her hand, letting out a small sigh, “Truthfully, I cannot tell you how to approach her. But delicacy is an important aspect with her. She has been through much, and will continue to go through more for the foreseeable future. That is a natural consequence of her status.” Spicy, Lexiel, Ako “I would be too, knowing that I’m helping a just cause” Ako stated, reaching out to take the contract, instinctively taking out her celestial brush, “Where do I sign? Just at the bottom?” Letting out a final chirp, Jamba merely shakes his head, the green sparrow hopping forward for his cue, “No, you are free to go. If you ever wish to rest your feet though, the Great Boss would be honored to let you stay at the Inn whenever you wish, as thanks for returning the establishment to him.”

"I see. Well, there's always more time to get to know them, for both you and me, Though, if I may ask, what do you mean by staying close to Shin? Does he get into trouble a lot? I know he got shot by a pretty bad poison arrow, but does that kind of stuff happen normally?"

“I see… I suppose that’s something we can only answer when we get to it” Godiva replied in a solemn tone, casting her eyes down for a moment before suddenly shaking her head, lifting it back up with a semi-forced smile, “Anyway, let’s not get too hung up on that right now, tell me about Virtuous. How many of them are your friends? What are they like?" she began, her cheerfulness become less and less forced as she went through the various questions in her mind. She had spent a lot of time thinking about Virtuous, and now all of her questions could finally be answered in the form of her cousin.

“Sorry, sorry, it’s just been so long” Godiva replied, placing the prince back on his feet before taking a step back, smoothing out her coat as she let Arthur speak, “For the longest time, I had no idea. All I knew was that you vanished without a trace after… Well, two months ago. But what Siegmund said… I could barely believe it. How could Uncle Ruslan do such a thing?” a pained look crossed Godiva’s expression as she thought about the situation again, “You’re… Actually planning on killing him, aren’t you? It's okay to tell me, I just want to hear it from you.”

Throughout the day, Godiva had spent her time trying to help the various members of Virtuous around the outpost… Or at least, the ones that she could find easily. It had been a chaotic day, but by the time Kane gathered everyone in the throne room, it was hard to tell if she was even winded by the amount of running around she had done, holding her hands in front of herself as her situation was discussed, “Actually, I’ve been spending some time thinking about a code name for myself, even before today actually. I thought 'Solstice' would be a good name. It has that bit of ‘mystery’ to it that a member of Virtuous needs, right?” she explained, before suddenly looking a bit sheepish, “Though a mask would be helpful. I don’t… Really have a hood for this coat” With that, Godiva had said her initial piece, marked by the entrance of her cousin and, surprisingly enough, more people then there had been when they left. Naturally, the noble gave her cousin a wave before returning her hands to their initial position, letting the members of Virtuous discuss their next move. She had her own feelings on the matter, yes, but she was committed to her earlier actions now, and since she wasn’t an ‘official’ member of the group yet, she figured there wasn’t much room for her comments. Of course, as soon as Kane left, Godiva was quick to move from her position, advancing on Arthur’s position with great speed, “This has been coming for a long time” Godiva stated as she approached, finally reaching her cousin and, with a surprising feat of strength, lifted him off his feet with a gigantic hug, “Aaah, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you Arthur! I didn’t think I’d ever see you again after you disappeared, but you’ve been doing so much! Who would've thought that you'd be a part of Virtuous of all things?” she exclaimed, swinging herself, and by extension Arthur, from side to side as she happily made up for lost time.

Mitsu and Spray At Mitsu's apology, Sakuya gave a slight bow of her head, "Your apology is accepted, as I simply wish the best for you. And as for you, Maxwell Schiff..." she continued, turning her head to the mortal ahead of her, "I should be apologizing for the situation that you have been suddenly thrust into. It was my duty to properly explain what you were going into, but in my haste I failed to do so. For that, I am truly sorry" she said, offering the rookiee a proper bow, "If there are any questions you want answered, I shall gladly answer them to the best of my knowledge."
