Kit to Knights for Days Group Text: Hi, Knights! I’m sorry I was such an ass. If you can forgive me, I have some news. Reply back so I know you’re there.

Kit: Okay, so nobody else is responding. And it’s been an hour. Which is fine. I’ll just leave this update here. Len’s given me permission to ride out tomorrow. (Really, he has. Ask Chris. He was there.) But it’s only for a quick loop or two and only as part of a show exhibition. He wants to demonstrate how progressive he is so he can get a promotion and suddenly I fit into those plans. But I was thinking … what if we all go out there? What if we stage a coup and have our tournament anyway? The Knights are still willing to trade with us. (You’ll ride out as Red, Lizzy, because Dalton’s not giving up his spot, because, Dalton.) We know all the moves. And we’re awesome. Want to join me?

Kit: Nothing? Really. Okay. Dammit. Friends. TALK TO ME.

Kit: Still nothing. Alright. Whatever. See you all at work tomorrow.
