[Argenti is a man who is focused on many things, and has seen and met many people as a result. As a Knight of Beauty, he's ventured across planets and space stations, keeping to the Code of Chivalry, fighting for what is honorable and good. He's fully aware of the horrors of things that lurk in the dark, knows war and the aftermath that follows, knows what it means to withstand temptation and the falling of oneself into despair.

...but... this is not anything he's used to or expecting, and it shows. It shows in how he turns and actually blinks at hearing Caelus say this to him, surprise clear in his face. Of course as he listens, that surprise soon enough turns to flustered as he hears his friend recite rhetoric back at him, the knight absolutely caught off-guard by it.

At the end of it all, despite no choir and no true spotlight on him, Argenti sees everything done as beautiful, especially Caelus's effort. Something soft crosses his eyes, touched by this gesture, and he exhales in amusement.]

Caelus. [His other hand goes and covers the Trailblazer's, and Argenti can't help but smile.] Rise, my friend. [He understands what the other means, even if it was in this roundabout way. He can keep to his Code of Chivalry- but Caelus also wants him to still be careful and concerned about his own safety. And so long as they are together on this unknown planet, that's how he'll have to be.

With the last piece of his armor bound into place, he watches the scenery around them for a minute before deciding to speak again.]

I shall grab my things, and you, yours. [A pause, and his hand reaches over to grab the crimson lance he's fought with since the first day he was truly a part of the Knights of Beauty. He looks back towards his friend, smile wide.] Then, let us venture onward, and you and I will protect each other.

[Just as Caelus asked.]
