[ the days are rather chilly this time of year -- it's the reason why he was dressed in two layers with another cloak draped over one shoulder. walking briskly, paying the scenery no mind (he didn't have much of an interest in them) before finally spotting the little table for two and anna's back.

smiles softly while approaching, making as little noise as possible while slipping off the cloak at the same time so that he can place them them over anna's shoulders when he gets in range. leaves his hands on those shoulders as he leans in a tad to murmur. ]

It's amazing that you haven't caught something already.

Of course, Robert. I have not a reason to refuse.

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

Simply not wishing for a guard would be reason enough.

[filleapapa.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. [ leans his head against his shoulder, closing his eyes. ] But I trust your judgment far more.

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

[ pauses for a moment, then carefully leans his own against annabelle's once again. ]

It is also in your power -- and yours alone -- to dismiss your guard if necessary.

[filleapapa.livejournal.com]

[ tenses briefly, if only in surprise. does not lift his head, however, though he sounds a little cautious regardless. ]

... really?

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

[ smiles a little. ]

Yes. For. . . any reason.

[ stays silent, allowing his lips to twitch upward into a tiny smile. ]

[filleapapa.livejournal.com]

[ slowly shifts so that he can meet robert's gaze, tilting his head as a wider smile crosses his lips. ]

You mentioned that you had someone in mind. What are they like? Will I be able to meet them soon?

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

[ tilts his head away a tad in thought. the silence stretches for a little while longer until his expression turns into that of both amusement and exasperation. ]

Soon. And it's probably best that you form your impressions of her on your own.

[ expression brightens, interest written all over his face. ]

"Her"? She is female, then?

[filleapapa.livejournal.com]

[ tilts his head skyward, allowing himself to sound pleased. ]

I cannot wait.

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

[ snorts a little, but his smile widens nonetheless. ]

Try not to frighten her off on her first day of duty.

[filleapapa.livejournal.com]

I cannot make any promises.

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

Well, I suppose it cannot be said that I have not tried, at least.

[filleapapa.livejournal.com]

You have warned her of my vicious nature, have you not? She must know what she is getting herself into, after all.

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

Hm. It may have slipped my mind.

[filleapapa.livejournal.com]

[ lifts a hand, mocking a shocked expression. ]

Oh my. This does not bode very well.

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

On the contrary. If she cannot handle even your level of viciousness, how is she to protect you from anything else?

[filleapapa.livejournal.com]

Ah, now that is a very valid point. I suppose we shall have to wait and see what becomes of her.

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

[ grows a little more subdued, voice a little quieter. ]

. . . beyond Riku and myself, she is the only other that I could trust with your life. And mine.

[filleapapa.livejournal.com]

[ blinks at the sudden change of heart, following it along willingly. begins slowly, hoping his curiosity-filled inquiry could push a little more out of him. ]

Oh...?

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

[ looks down for a moment. ]

. . .

So even should you choose to dismiss her later, I. . . please keep at least this in mind.

[filleapapa.livejournal.com]

[ nods slowly, a smile crossing his lips. ]

Of course.

[sauvegarder.livejournal.com]

Thank you.
