Kneeling Forward on One Knee → Standing Proudly while Holding a Sword

Hm... Continuing the vein of making Arma more knightly, let's replace 'Kneeling Forward on One Knee' with 'Standing Proudly while Holding a Sword.'

Arma stands, and I stand with her as lanterns appear along the corridor's side.

The princess' strange 'helmet'-tiara vanishes as her braids lengthen. Her armor stays mostly the same except the leather turns from black to a deep red maroon and her legs become armored almost wholly up to the thighs. If it weren't for the still-present boob-plate, I'd even say her apparel is entirely practical!

As for the sword, it's a simple one handed blade with a golden crossguard. I'm not sure how long it is, but the hilt doesn't have much space for a second hand so it can't be too long. I wouldn't say Arma looks any prouder than before either: in fact her expression is nearly the same, and her posture is quite casual, if still straight.

Well, that went mostly alright. What to do next?

(princess-knight, pink hair, braided hair, kind expression, tilted head, one hand forward, standing proudly while holding a sword, plate armor, skintight leather pants, half open knight helmet, inside a castle hallway)

[AN: I almost forgot to drop this one, despite how much I liked how well it turned out. (- .- ));]
