How old is Rosalie?

Regardless, it seems likely they've known each other a long time, having both been Squires before they were Knights. With their current, upgraded powersets, Eclipse & (Dart?) are probably a pretty good field team, & frequently deployed together. This will let Rosalie know at least one thing about John Justin that isn't regularly visible: he is DEEPLY depressed. The losses he has suffered have made him draw inward & obsess, & the verve & enthusiasm he possessed back when he was Pride have pretty much been replaced by a fatalistic sense of duty.

I would say he respects her, but these days he LIKES almost nobody, & goes out of his way to shut down social contact when it isn't necessary. Still, he DISLIKES a great many people, and he does not dislike Rosalie, at least.

I hadn't really thought about it. Usually I default to her canon age (24). However, this time around Rosalie's got to be about the same age as Sabetha and we haven't discussed ages yet.

I could see Dart and Eclipse knowing each other from ye olde Squire days! I like the idea of them coming up into the Knights together. Though, the way I've been plotting with Rosalie's upgraded powers is that the upgrade happened shortly pre-Jaunt so she's still feeling out how extensive the upgrade is. Maybe they were a field team pre-Rosalie's upgrade but have only done drills/exercises post-Rosalie's upgrade?

Other than that, Rosalie...is probably full of awkward feelings about Eclipse, haha. She respects him a lot too and has certainly noticed the changes in him over time. But she has no idea what to do about it. Bringing it up would almost certainly go poorly and she'd rather not wreck their working relationship on something she thinks will fail horribly. But Drake also can't go on like this forever. And as time has passed the sense that she's the only one whose noticed probably makes her feel more and more like the onus is on her to do something.

Eclipse is 21, but he also started as a Squire at 14, so that's probably about exactly right for when they started as Squires?

Yeah, I think that works!
