Though he'd initially had his hands full, Kaihel seemed to be eating up the attention and praise alike. After all, it was moments like this that were what inspired him to be a knight in the first place. Once the crates were set down, the knight stretched, giving the swordfighting children a cheer before rousing the gathered crowd into yet another. Taking the drink forced into his hand, he drank several gulps down, lifting a brow but grinning after the girl who'd stolen a kiss. Taking another sip he gave Rumsey a knowing smile before patting the pirate on the back.<br/><br/>It was only the words of the Elder and Calypso that, for the time being, brought the knight's focus back to the present. Moving to stand near Calyspo, he chuckled though it was cut off as the Elder spoke on more serious matters. Looking to Calypso, he offered something of a shrug.<span style="color: darkred">"I doubt we can make the trip before sunset and while we could press onwards it seems perhaps others would request that we linger a bit longer."</span>At that, he offered a rather pointed nod and smirk over to the already distracted Rumsey.<span style="color: darkred">"We'll depart in the morn. Maze Palace will be true to his name and it will do more harm than good to have us stumbling about within it's walls in the dark."</span><br/><br/>Reaching up to run a hand through his dark hair, the knight smiled wide and broad for the townsfolk.<span style="color: darkred">"For now, we all shall enjoy this victory over the dark!"</span>Raising his mug in something of a toast, he motioned for the celebration to continue before looking to Calypso and Trix.<span style="color: darkred">"I'll inform Rumsey. And seek you out later."</span>Offering a bright haired girl a wink, the knight lifted his drink to his companion in a feigned toast then turned to slip into the crowd as well.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
