Leolo smiled when she called him her ‘knight in shining armor’.  Was it just a coincidence that she used that phrase?  Or did their bond allow her to glimpse bits of truth -- visions which she couldn’t yet make sense of.  “My Lady,” Leolo murmured, giving her a courtly bow.  “You should see me in my shining armor.  It’s plated with gold, and when the light strikes it, it looks as if a small sun has appeared on the battlefield.”<br/><br/>His smile remained while he spoke the words, so that she could interpret them as joking.  But of course, they were quite true.<br/><br/>This close to her, Leolo found his emotions growing even more intense.  He felt a strong sense of possessiveness -- doubtlessly, that was the mark influencing him.  But there was also a strange familiarity, as if he’d glimpsed her in a dream or known her as a child.<br/><br/>“You could never be a burden,” Leolo assured.  Then, as if to prove the point, he swept her into his arms and began carrying her toward the club’s exit.  “I’m Leolo, by the way.  May I ask for your name?  A knight should know what to call his Lady, don’t you think?”
