Meanwhile, the knight was working on how to break herself and the messenger loose from their bindings - they shared a cell, you see - when the moment of escape came, and realized the chains were very rusty, even brittle.....they would break easily with the right application of force.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

Finally the rogue had something set up, and she could finally break in to get to the knight and the messenger, though she had to be quick, as the distraction would have a time table, but first after some careful climbing, and a few ninjs secrets, she was able to reach the door to the prison!

From:

pawper

The knight heard her reach the door, or more like sensed it - because they were close friends attuned to each other and not because the rogue wasn't being sneaky enough - and looped her chains over an iron hook set in the wall of the cell, first twisting and then putting all her weight onto them until they broke.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

The Rogue opened the door as the chains broke and offered the knight an amused grin, "of course you would know when I'm here," she commented and came over to undo the lock of the cell so they could make their escape properly, but not without first hugging the knight because she was worried.

From:

pawper

The knight hugged her back, still wearing the manacles but otherwise free, and replied "Of course I did, just like I knew you'd come," as the messenger also broke their chains using the same trick.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

"Of course," the rogue said, "but we will have to hurry, the distraction will only work so lon-" and on the other side of the castle was a loud BOOM, followed by several others that sounded an awful like fireworks, because sometimes the best stealth is being loud where you're not.

From:

pawper

The messenger was shocked and startled, but the knight wasn't, only saying "You'll have to tell me later how you did that.....but for now let's get out of here!" before running out of the cell, going first since she was the strongest and could best deal with any guards they couldn't avoid.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

"Maybe if you ask supes nicely," the rogue said with a cheeky grin, bringing up the rear since really, that poor messenger is just a civilian, but she'd give directions on the safest path out.

From:

pawper

"Don't I always ask super nicely?" was the joking reply as she navigated through the castle based on those directions, only having to knock out a stray and unsuspecting guard maybe once or twice.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

They finally got out of the castle, and finally made it into the woods, and seemed to almost be in the clear, when the messenger made a horrible realization, "what about the letters?!"

From:

pawper

The knight paused, looking uncertainly to the rogue, no longer caring about the letter that had started this mess but realizing there was more at stake than that.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

"Oh, that would be a problem," the rogue admitted, "but really getting the letters compared to you guys were child's play, even had time to skim 'em to be sure they were what I needed to get," she said oh so nonchalantly.

From:

pawper

Of course, of course the rogue had managed that, and it was all well and good that she had, but the knight just blushed and turned away a little, muttering something about keeping an eye on their tails and oh, gosh, shouldn't they really get a move on?

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

The rogue kept a cool facade, which was really hard 'cause the knight was being supes cute, but safety first!

From:

pawper

The rogue was always better at being all cool and calm, it was true, unlike the knight who couldn't look anyone in the eyes all the way back to the kingdom.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

It was once they were sure the messenge was safe that the rogue made her move, presenting a letter to the knight; except it wasn't her letter.

From:

pawper

The knight slowly takes it and even more slowly opens it.....

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

And it was a letter addressed to her, a love letter!

From:

pawper

As the knight was a silly person sometimes, she could hardly believe what she was reading until she got to the end of the letter, and by then she was almost too flustered to speak.

And lo and behold the end of the letter read....

anonymous because the rogue was kind of a troll, but really the knight knows that well enough to guess.

From:

pawper

[HAHAHA]

"....You couldn't have signed your name this one time?" the knight asked, still flustered but laughing now, happy as well as nervous.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

"Of course not," the rogue said with a smug grin though it kind of faltered as she shrugged, "i might have gotten nervous."

From:

pawper

"I bet you're more nervous than you're acting," the knight replied, moving to hug the rogue who was her important friend no matter what became of these other feelings, "but, that's fine."

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

"Shhhh we do not question my acting skills," the rogue said because it was really true, but was relieved when the knight hugged her, returning the embrace, "i was surprised when i found your letter."
