A Positive Change

Laughter rippled through the knights, soft and unguarded, as they watched Aisha struggle against Skadi's suffocating affection. The warmth of the moment, the raw sincerity, made something in their battle-hardened hearts soften.

And then, one of the older knights, a woman with a mischievous glint in her eyes, let out a low hum. "You know..." She mused, tapping her chin as she looked around at the others. "Since we're all sisters-in-arms, comrades who trust each other with our lives...shouldn't we also show our love for one another like Skadi did?"

A moment of silence.

Then—chaos.

The younger knights instantly blushed, looking between one another in flustered confusion. A few sputtered, a few instinctively recoiled, and others hesitated, eyes darting between their seniors as if unsure whether they were being teased or if this was a serious proposal.
