You stretch and yawn, shuffling out of bed with a groan, not quite ready to face the early sunlight of the morning. A little ways away, you can hear your best friend Cross shifting in his sleep. You consider waking up to share the pain of the early morning grogginess with him, but decide against it in the end. Instead, you make your way out of your room, stopping suddenly at the sight of a guard standing right outside of your room.You glance over at the unexpected presence, finding yourself with a familiar face. Oh no, this asshole. What was his name again? You’re pretty sure it was Error. You had never said much to the guy, having only seen him around a few times since moving in with Dream. However, you could just tell this guy was a proud supporter of all the Justice Reigns stood for. You, on the other hand, had some issues with said ideals.The guard casts a look at you, noticing your prolonged glares. Damn, you hoped he wouldn’t notice. He turns to you, looking you up and down with a certain caution. “Lord Dreams brother, correct?” he inquires, “I was told to watch your room.”“Why, still afraid I’ll shake things up a little?” you sneer back, not appreciating the high attention to the security of your dwelling. The guard seems to notice your resentment, and responds with a barbed tongue of his own.“Why yes, especially since ‘little’ seems to be fitting of you. I’m only doing my job, so if you must have such a sour attitude, I’d advise taking is up with your brother.” he remarks, staring straight ahead, unfazed by your hostility.You storm off, a bad start already to your day. Great, living in a castle that already hates you. Fantastic. Though the more you thought about it, the more you came to appreciate the cleverness of the asshole. At least he was an interesting, if not somewhat irritating, start to your day. For a brief moment, you hope that he is assigned to your room again soon.
