Also, Velite/Argenti actual OTP. What's that post about the hero walking into the story and the friend aware of the tropes walking alongside them right into danger because even if they know, because they know, they can't let the hero go alone?

#Let's see if I find it but yes they made me think of that post #They also made me think of Stei.nbeck's telling of the story of Lyon.el and Lancel.ot together #How Lancelo.t takes his nephew with him to teach him the way of a true knight and Lyon.el goes alongside him mocking him at first #but soon deeply moved by Lancelo.t's purity and devotion and... his loneliness and tiredness #That scene in which Lyon.el teases Lancelo.t about love and he can see for a moment Lancelo.t almost want to kill him #but then drink his fury and get terribly tired. How Lancelo.t tells him he wants to rest under the tree and Lyon.el asks #what shall he say to his friends when he tells them about this part of the journey‚ to which Lancelot replies to tell them just #that he was tired. That he was more tired than he had ever been. Tired as if he hadn't slept for seven years. And that he needed to rest #And there‚ watching him sleep‚ with what sleep is for a knight since it's being seen in their most vulnerable‚ Lyon.el gets deeply moved #by this man‚ feels protective of him‚ and like he can no longer mock him or his bizarre ways #Well‚ that's what Velite and Argenti reminded me of #Also I adore that book but I love that scene in particular. I think all the time of the wording of those seven years Lancelo.t speaks of #I talk too much #I should probably delete this later
