Vesper
Vesper swept his hair to the side, behind the fringes in defiance of the sea-breeze trying to blind him in a frizzy mess. He had agreed to a request -more akin to a favor for a person he's come to respect. Babysitting. Yes, that's right. Not the most lavish quest for a mage, but one Vesper is more than happy to do on behalf of Reign Valystasia - a man he's come to quite respect in his beloved little hamlet, Hargeon. Vesper was actually quite happy to spend a day relaxing and spoiling an adorable kid with his delicious treats, lugging around a massive bag of goodies on the journey to the beach. Blair, however, did not seem as enthused. Almost pouty with a look of disdain painting her expression. Barely a word spoken in the awkward silence that followed their introductions. It was palpable, but Ves was determined to turn that frown upside down. A child's smile is the most precious treasure in the world, after all.

Vesper guides the girl, no more than ten years old - a tiny little thing with a pale disposition to their spot in the sand. She'd apparently been very sick lately and begged to go out with her dear uncle. Mm. She's probably not feeling great about being pawned off to some stranger. "Hey, Mister! Bring me every single seashell on the beach, now!" A bratty command from a spoiled princess, but one that the boy would oblige with a smile. "Your wish is my command~" Ves scampers away, digging out every tiny shell he can to deliver to the girl staring at him with watchful, inquisitive eyes. Thankfully it doesn't take long. The beach was already mostly barren of seashells from other prospective scavengers, but Ves had completed his quest, delivering all the treasure he was able to find at her feet. "Here you go, Princess Blair~ I have secured all the gems in the land~!" A smile and playful ring in his voice as he bows in servitude, all too happy to play in her space if it means she is having a good time.

Vesper
It didn't quite have the effect that Vesper intended. Blair seemed to be interested at first, perusing the fine assortment of sparkling jewels plucked from the sea and sand, until something seemed to click - a reminder perhaps that she was not to dare frolic with the peasantry, for the mongrel in front of her was not her dearest uncle. "I'm hot! Make yourself useful and put the umbrella up!" Blair scrunches her nose and then tilts her head up with crossed arms as she waits for the clemency of shadow in the torrid heat. Ves was not one to be bested by a child, simply bowing before unpacking the last of the supplies for today's outing; an umbrella, snacks, water, etc. He hums a little tune and plants the towering umbrella over Her Highness  and crouches down to hand her a bag of candy he had specially made before shuffling over to sit in the sand beside her. It went unspoken, but there was a firm understanding that he was not to enter her domain, and so, he simply waited there for her next beckoning call.

She seemed apprehensive at first, slowly opening the little bag of treats before taking a dainty nibble, glancing suspiciously at it, and then back at Ves. Inspiration suddenly struck and she made another decree. She wanted to go into the forest to go see the flowers she had read about in a book. "Hmm.. I suppose it's alright as long you stick close to me. No wandering whatsoever, little princess. Okay?" Blair seemed very pleased, clutching her little bag of snacks tight as she sprung to her feet, scampering off, with little peeks back to make sure her loyal knight was following close enough behind.

Vesper
The forest was brimming with life - beauty in the brilliant shade of green basking in the sun's warmth and chirping of birds and bugs alike. A munchkin munching on cookies as she clings to her temporary caretaker's hand. She's been somewhat pacified by all of the placation and Vesper finds it a nice change of pace, doing his best to answer any questions that sprout in her little inquisitive mind. Excited tamps of her feet when she finally spots the flowers she'd been searching for. Anemones in a striking purple hue. Immediately eye-catching in their contrast to the surrounding scenery that Vesper himself is taken aback in awe. "These flowers are quite beautiful, Blair. I'm really glad we got to see them~" A sentiment voiced that would go unheard.

Panic grips the young, wannabe knight. His heart seizes in his chest and sinks like an anchor thrown into abyssal waters. The princess has been lost to the evil witch of the woods, surely! It was already getting late into the day - not long until sundown, when beasties and monsters alike find refuge. This revelation forces him into action - a frantic, almost instinctual clairvoyance takes hold as he retraces and tracks her destination. Little stitches marked in the dirt, brush and atmosphere that he perceives. A point of pride for his werewolf blood? His ears flicker and twitch as it picks up on a sound; quiet sobs. He curls and twists like lightning through the dense forest, quickly honing in on that pitiful sound.

Vesper
"Never fear, princess- Your knight is here to save you!" He bursts from the tree line and spots the girl, crouched down - cowering with tears streaming down her face as she glances up. Ves' eyes widen, and his body moves once more without thought to console the tiny creature, a warm hand to pat her head and sleeve to dry her tears. She wails and Vesper sits with her, stalwart for as long as she needs to collect herself. "Shh. Shh. Shh... It's alright now. You made me so worried..."

Ves escorts the shaken princess out of the woods and back to their beach spot to collect their things. This was probably enough adventure for one day and it was getting late as is. It was a light trek to Blair's castle and the tiny princess clung to her knight so intently. It was such a stark contrast to her petulant behavior from before and she whimpers out a quiet "I'm sorry.." The idea almost seemed preposterous to Vesper, knowing full well what he signed up for. Words failed to find meaning in comparison to a simple gesture; A gentle head pat.

"Uwaaah" A silly sound escapes Vesper's lips at the luxurious entrance of the castle and again when allowed entry to such a spacious building. Blair seemed quite keen to hang from his sleeve all the way to her room and Vesper was never one to deny a young girl's wishes. "I'm really happy to meet you today... Sir Ves? I was really mad when Uncle Reign said he couldn't spend time with me... but I had a lot of fun~!" She wraps her arms around her temporary guardian and squeezes tight. "Promise you'll come play again..."

Vesper crouches down to her level, staring with shut eyes as he holds out one of her storybook flower - a purple anemone. A promise offered with a flower. "I'm sure I'll be able to serve you again one day, Princess Blair."

A promise returned with a smile.
