That’s ideal for a guard. How often did people think about my father?

[fluidgender]

Pretty often and that still wasn't enough. Everyone loved him.

[phoenix_temple]

… I hope one day I can do as much good as he did. I can’t even protect you from your parents, let alone anyone else…

[fluidgender]

...you worry too much about the big stuff. Focus on the things in fromt of you I say.

[phoenix_temple]

The suffering of the staff is in front of me. You’re in front of me—I’m always focused on you.

[fluidgender]

And the thing between me and you is your own nose! Aka, you! Focus on your own happiness more than you do.

[phoenix_temple]

But I am happy. [ She looks so confused. ]

[fluidgender]

You could be happier!

[phoenix_temple]

So could you. You’re miserable after speaking with your parents.

You could just allow me to unseat them and take your rightful place at any time.

[fluidgender]

And what, run an estate while I'm in my teens? Fight over a lord intervening to get me hitched?

All I want to do right now is have fun.

[phoenix_temple]

Are you having fun though?

[fluidgender]

With you here? Always.

[phoenix_temple]

Well I know that isn’t true!

[fluidgender]

You think too little of yourself.

[phoenix_temple]

I’ve seen you after diners with your father and mother my lady.

[fluidgender]

Well yes, my mom and dad were there. Them making me mad is a lot different from you making me happy.

[phoenix_temple]

I’m still with you then. I’m always with you.

[fluidgender]

Its their fault for being in the way then! When they're blocking the view, its hard to stay as happy.

[phoenix_temple]

[ She giggles a bit at that. ] Of course, my lady.

Just remember I am always on your side, and at your side.

[fluidgender]

Its so much effort to turn my head! Better to stare at you face forward I think.

[phoenix_temple]

A servant should never be ahead of her master. It’s a breach of protocol that I am so close to you so often.

[fluidgender]

They say that, but they still expect ya to be ahead of 'em and keep everything tidy and prepared... Ain't a lot of fairness.

[phoenix_temple]

If my father was able to handle it, I’ll be able to as well. He had a much more difficult master than I do.

[fluidgender]

Yeah, but Pops is still here. That's like... twice the trouble when you include me.

[phoenix_temple]

I don’t serve your father unless you ask me to. And you’re hardly as bad.
