«Sun knight?», Sieglinde echoed, tilting her head in a thoughtful motion. «Mmh… oh, I’ve heard from other travelers that there is a indeed a fellow knight with a sun painted over his shield! He’s wandering through Lordran, just like us, right? … And, if I recall correctly, they also warned me to not mention the sun in his presence, if I value my ears… that is.»
She fell silent for a moment, looking at the young girl.
«I must confess I’m still not quite sure of what that means…»
Dark Sun? … So she was a Blade of the Darkmoon, just like Jarrod. The catarinian arched a brow; and she surely had a peculiar way of expressing herself, hadn’t she?
«Poisoning and robbing? Oh, dear me… those are indeed some interesting inclusions to the Code of Chivalry. I did not remember them. Alas, it seems I’m getting old…», she chuckled, mirth dancing in her irises. «However, I can still show you some edible plants and fruits you can easily find around here. But, I’m afraid you are the only one who can decide if it is a wise decision to trust me or not.»
The young knight searched for her gleaming eyes, patiently awaiting her verdict.

Chuami couldn’t help laughing at the stranger’s words. Apparently, she didn’t know his name, but she knew the most important thing about him. Once she started laughing, it seemed hard to stop; possibly because she’d had so little reason to laugh lately. It had been… a while since she’d last left Anor Londo. She had almost forgotten how… bad it was, out here.
She fanned herself, one hand still on her bow, trying not to laugh again at the knight’s line about getting old. She certainly didn’t sound old, though it was hard to tell with that onion on her head.
The Darkmoon took a moment to consider the knight’s offer – purely for show. She had decided on her answer the second the girl had put forward the question.
“Okay.” she nodded. “You don’t seem like an undercover Darkwraith. They have no sense of humour. I’m Chuami, Gwyndolin’s favourite hunter.”
She gave a sweeping bow, then looked up, grinning, and winked at the knight through her hair. “Do I amaze you?”
