Facing A Knight, Again

As the gray-haired Knight moved to the center of the circle of onlookers, Arran watched him closely.

From the man's movements alone, it was clear that he was powerful — alarmingly so. After studying Muna's foundation, Arran could recognize the signs of insights, and he saw them even in the Knight's steps.
