She felt the other’s tense shoulders soften at her grip which did please the young woman with half lidded eyes, “That’s it, just like an instinct for your fight, you also should have an instinct to know when you be approachable and not be constantly on guard.” She lifted the back of her hand to brush against the king’s cheek, “If you show that you’re relaxed, it shows that you trust someone enough to not be on edge….that make sense?”

At the touch of her hand against his cheek, Erston tensed for the briefest of seconds, having not expected the tender touch. But, slowly, he allowed himself to relax once more, knowing the touch was not intended to cause harm. 

His voice was quiet as he addressed Ally, “Your words do hold truth to them, but it is not as easy as you make it to be. A man such as myself does not have the luxury of often being allowed to lower my guard. A great number people could be an enemy, be it because of my status or simply being a Rieze Maxian. Until I know they hold no ill will, how can I know I know I may truly drop my guard around them?”

    “Ah yes,my apologize.Erston it is.” a pause , “That`s me,what can I do for you?”

“Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Balan. I am here today to see how the Spyrite research is going: Jude mentioned some of the progress, but I thought it best I came to see it myself.”  Spyrite development was still a pretty hot topic back in Rieze Maxia politically, and the king wished to be as well informed on the matter as possible.

Watching him retrieve his preferred weapon, she stood in place as her grip on her spell book tightened. It was only once he passed her and headed towards the door that she spun on her heel to follow him.

"I have two statements from hunters that have guesstimated where the beast is, but as of their current locations are almost half a mile apart, that is still a large gap for two people to cover. May I suggest having Agria join us?"

[chimeriadking-blog]

Marching through the halls of the Castle with enough purpose to make anyone who crossed the king’s path hurriedly move aside, Gaius listened to Presa’s advise, considering it in his mind. “How long would you estimate this task would take us, and be generous with time. While I do not doubt Wingul’s ability to take care of things in my stead for the brief time, I do not wish to leave him alone with that weight of responsibility for a prolonged period.” 

If Jiao was at the castle, Gaius wouldn’t have hesitated, but as much as he trusted his right hand man, the stress of running a country alone could harm his judgement. At least with Agria around as an advisor, Wingul would not give way under the strain.

"Yes Erston. I was standing next to you and everything, normally you’re more alert about me being near without me saying anything." To the point it gave Ally the creeps sometimes.

She furrowed her eyebrows together, not convinced of the other’s plans, “Mind if I come along?” She was worried…she didn’t want to leave the king alone in this state, if he didn’t sense her right away, what’s to say he’ll be able to sense someone out for his blood. This was Duval after all.

"C’mon, at least let me walk you to the inn." Where she will figure out a way to knock him out into the bed one way or another, buuuuut she was gonna leave that detail out. 

[chimeriadking-blog]

Ally had been by his side for a while and he hadn’t even noticed? Now he really felt foolish, and a little unnerved. If she had been one to intend him harm, things could have taken a turn for the worst. Certainly, he would have been able to fight back, but the enemy would have had the advantage over him, and that was a large oversight on his part. 

Not really able to think of a valid reason to not allow her to join him, Gaius nodded a little, “I do not see any reason to appose this, as long as you’re not busy Allison.” Besides, at least with her by his side, he’d have a little warning if someone was approaching. 

With that, Erston continued his sluggish trek back to the Inn, knowing full well that as soon as he sat down, it was back to work again.

"Wh—!!" She didn’t have time to back away too far since the other’s reflexes kicked in faster than she could comprehend as the other held on to her hand, "What’s the big idea?!" 

When he released her she was still fuming slightly, her voice lowered so that she didn’t draw attention to them, “What do you mean you didn’t notice me I was walking next to you for a good couple minutes…”

Ally took a good look at the king’s face, frowning at the glazed expression that was returned to her, “….So where are you heading…?” Hopefully to the nearest pillow zone if he knew what was good for him. 

[chimeriadking-blog]

"You were?" Erston couldn't have faked that level of surprise when he was in peak condition, let alone in his exhausted state. Hastily he continued talking, hoping to not arouse Ally's suspicions about his state, "My attention was on other matters, I'm sorry for not greeting you before." 

At her question, Gaius blinked for a moment before looking away, appearing to be thinking. Where had he been heading? So focused had he been on what he still needed to do, the king had simply been allowing his feet to guide him. "... I believe I was heading to the inn, I have some work that needs attending to and I must liaise with some of my men back in Kanbalar about official affairs. Why do you ask?" He didn't have time to rest, despite the fact he was ready to collapse.

"That’ll be five hundred gald sir." Ally handed the crate of napples to the customer, exchanging the goods and money before stretching out a little bit, the day was slowly getting to be a bit of a drag. 

She soon caught sight of the tall figure walking past but was surprised that he didn’t acknowledge her presence. Strange. He knew where the booth was…

"Hey Yurgen, you can hold the fort from here right?" Ally asked, not really waiting on her partner’s response as she gathered her scarf and jacket. She followed the king until she was right beside him, eyeing the king’s movements and how he kept looking forward. Still didn’t notice she was there?

She had a feeling this would potentially get her into trouble, but she reached over, lightly poking the king’s cheek, “Elympios to Erston—”

[chimeriadking-blog]

Mind trying it's hardest to focus on returning to his room at the inn, knowing only more paperwork and calls were waiting for him, Gaius only barely noticed the person walking beside him. They didn't seem to be a threat, so the king chose to ignore them. That was until she touched his cheek, his hand snapping up to grab her hand, almost about to further counter attack before realising that the brunette was someone he knew well. 

Erston's eyes seemed a little clouded as he carefully released Ally's hand, "My apologies Allison, I didn't notice you there." There were slight shadows beneath his eyes, but Gaius being Gaius, he was stubbornly ignoring the fatigue he was experiencing. Instead, he focused his attentions on the woman before him.

Sentence Starters {Camping Edition}

"You start the fire, I'll build the tent."

"You forgot the supplies?!"

"There's a better campsite over here."

"Let's get this tent up before it starts raining!"

"It's like five in the morning... Unless there's a bear out there, I'm not waking up."

"You actually forgot the bug-spray?"

"Where are the blankets and sleeping bags?"

"Beans and hot dogs over a campfire.... mmmm~!"

"I've heard that camping is nature's way of promoting the motel business... and that's right."

"How is it that one match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box of matches to start a campfire?"

"I am not getting out of my sleeping bag."

"It is worse than the first response suggested." she replied, facing him as she spoke. "From what little I’ve gathered, it appears that a group of rogues destroyed a beasts egg and it’s been on a rampage against any human that it finds."

"Not to mention that, within two weeks of the eggs destruction, the beast will be going back into season, that will attract male monsters that will be offering kills to her to gain favor." she paused. "And with all the untrained men trying to take the beast out, they are bound to become offerings as a result of their actions."

[chimeriadking-blog]

Gaius remained silent as he listened to Presa's report, his frown only deepening further at her words. Just as she said, it was indeed far worse than he anticipated. There was no time to dally. 

Standing up, Gaius wasted no time in retrieving his trusted katana and approaching the door, "Do you have any leads on the creature's usual area of interest? You and I shall go and assess the situation and endeavour to vanquish this beast before more lives can be lost. We shall only call reinforcements if necessary: there is no point in wasting valuable energy when it is not needed."
