Prompt/challenge you’re answering: Glenn/Frog once rejected Crono because they did not make suitable partners. So why was Glenn/Frog seeing Crono again?
The travellers have stopped in at the castle again- for the practice, they say, and the Knight Captain has no reason to deny them. These are the people who have saved their Queen- their kingdom- the Frog more than once, he suspects. Giving them space and time to observe the knights’ drills and practice their own is no hardship.
He comes to watch, when he has no duties calling for his urgent presence. He’s seen the Frog over many years, paid attention to how well he can work with the other knights (when he does), but not the youngster. He hasn’t had a proper opportunity to watch Crono before now, really, and Crono uses a longer sword than the Knight Captain’s used to. But the Frog’s movements draw his eyes away- he’s seen those strikes time and time again, corrected others in their form, but he hasn’t seen the Frog move through them with this strength before.
It reminds him of another knight- no, a knight and his squire, who left the castle in search of a medallion (catching the light as the Frog turns to parry) and the legendary sword (holding up as well and better than the Knight Captain would expect against a lesser blade), and in the blade’s light as it swings through the air and encounters Crono’s blade, the Knight Captain thinks he perhaps catches glimpses of their faces. Perhaps they have not returned in the truest sense of the word, but neither have they left Guardia to fend for herself without their aid, as some have feared in their worst hours.
Is that what the Frog sees in Crono, then? he wonders, and turns his attention to the young man anew.
