"Awesomes!" Ingrid's mouth turned into a big "O" and she positively wriggled with joy. Holding out her hands she encouraged the other's to take her hands and form a loose circle. Her lips were still curved into a smile when she began to intone:
"Hand in hand, we stand side by side. Allies bound through the Wyrd's skein. I'll stand by you as you stand by me; and we'll learn more of ourselves along this journey together. Let this be so for a season's turn, and if I lie let all Arcane thought and Horatio's philosophy desert me."
There had to be words to seal the thing. Might as well be her.

A circle? Or was it because there were four if them it would be a square? Mhairi's fell-flames flicker as the nerves energy echoes throughout her body, only to be replaced with a....calmness. A zen. It was an echo of what she'd feel when she put herself into another's hands.
....which might explain her...ease around their Fae magics.
Ingrid's rough voice intones the words, invoking the wyrd and Mhairi's voice picks up when the darkling's ceases.
"A circle we stand, hand to hand. Allies bound, friendship found. Wyrd weft and woven. The circle will not break, if you don't break from it. A quarter year, a Seasons turn may this circle stand. Power we seek, knowledge it's form. Of ourselves, each other and of hidden things. Secrets lost and of the Lost. Waiting to be found. I say these words and they are true, but if I ever betray this Vow then let," fell-flames flicker at Ingrid as her lips quirk higher, "Arcane thought and Horatio's philosophy desert me."

Mhairi and Ingrid have both spoken the words. And now it is Thomas's turn. Gulping down his wine, he speaks up.
For once, his voice seems strong, certain:
"Together in the Dark Wood, the Selva Oscura, we stand. Four bound as one for a season's turn. Together, we'll search for knowledge and together we'll find it. Secrets lost, yes, and secrets of the Lost, things rarely seen and rarely told. I give my word to the three who stand with me now and to the Wyrd in turn, I will not break this pact. And if I should abandon my vow, let Arcane thought and Horatio's philosophy desert me." Beady eyes dart between the three women, solemn in the flickering light of the fire.

As their words were said and the Pledge spoken by each, she realized this was it. There was no going back once the words left her lips.
Butterflies began to flutter in her stomach as a mixture of excitement and fear formed.
It was her turn to speak now, and she takes a deep breath to try and steady her voice,
“As a circle we stand, hand in hand, a bond formed for a Season’s Turn. My trust and strength I offer to you three, my word to never be broken. Knowledge we will seek and preserve to strengthen our bond. Let us grow as one in both knowledge, and in self. If I betray this Vow, let Arcane thought and Horatio's philosophy desert me."

"I mean you no harm, nor hindrance, if the same is true of you. Vow this to me and we will gain a greater understanding of the other. Cross my heart and hope to die, until this time next year," the shadowed beauty declared, her free hand scratching an X over her heart.

"To assure the protection of our bretheren, bretheren in this oath being those once human that have returned to the human world from Arcadia, I swear upon the name of my Keeper, Ophellia the Eternal Gardener, that would seek me were my word broken, that I will not aid any of the Arcadian Gentry against my bretheren, the aforementioned. For one turn of the season, I hold this vow, blessing my understanding of my bretheren, so defined before, lest my words and deeds be cursed to great misfortune."
"If you hold true to your word, swear it upon the name of your Keeper, who will seek you should your word prove false, and bind the vow that demonstrates your sincerity not just to one but to all our bretheren, so named, that escaped from Arcadia."
The great thing about creating a raw pledge, is you get to name it!Oath of Gentry's Denial:
