And you waited. They didn't say you couldn't do other things in-between waiting, did they?

[phoenix_temple]

I thought it was implied… Father said to do everything we could to not make the lord angry.

[fluidgender]

[She considers.]

...alright. So I'm gonna go put my dirty, muddy hands on all the expensive stuff.

[phoenix_temple]

W-wait, no please don’t! You’ll get in trouble as well.

[fluidgender]

Then I guess a guard better be near me to make sure I don't, huh?

[Opens up a door, smugly.]

[phoenix_temple]

[ Ooooh she looks so uncertain. ] At least tell me who you are…?

[fluidgender]

Who do you think I am? If you're bodyguarding, you're supposed to be able to pick up on strangers quickly, right?

[She's moving to step out.]

[phoenix_temple]

I just started! I don’t know anyone yet…

[ She’s following though. ]

But I don’t think you’re dangerous. Not seriously dangerous to the lady, anyway…

[fluidgender]

Wrong guess! I'm plenty dangerous.

[She dances her fingers over a displayed set of armor, high risk of mud flicking around.]

[phoenix_temple]

Wait don’t! For your own sake at least… you’ll get in terrible trouble.

[fluidgender]

[She pulls her hand back.] How about that? You were here to stop me. Its a good thing you were here instead of in there, huh?

[hououji]

It would be much better if you didn't so stubbornly put yourself in danger! If the lord finds us like this, we'll both be in trouble...

[fluidgender]

Don't be a baby. [She moves to make her way up the stairs.] I'm sure he'd find a way to be mad no matter what.

[phoenix_temple]

Maybe so, but that doesn’t mean you should provoke him on purpose. I don’t know what will happen if I’m dismissed…

[fluidgender]

Then stand up for yourself! Shouldn't be firing you before you're even hired...

[phoenix_temple]

I am trying! But you aren’t listening! What kind of a servant are you?

[fluidgender]

[She sticks out her tongue, scampering upstairs.

She's having too much fun.]

[phoenix_temple]

Father said Lord Saotome was a very dangerous person. He wouldn’t think twice about hurting anyone. Do you really want to be hurt so badly?

[fluidgender]

He's hurt me plenty. And I ain't afraid of him.

[phoenix_temple]

Well I don’t want you to be hurt again!

[fluidgender]

Yeah? What if the Lord orders you to hurt me? Or the Lady?

[phoenix_temple]

They may be my masters, but I have honor. I’m not going to hurt someone who isn’t a danger. [ Kaze made it clear very early he was the same way. ]

[fluidgender]

[She finally stops in her momentum, turning around to fix Fuu with a look, hands on her hips.]

What's that mean then? What's dangerous?

[phoenix_temple]

I’ll only lift my hand or blade to protect someone from harm.

[fluidgender]

That's not a real answer...

[She huffs again, spinning on her heels to keep walking.]
