Inquiries and Care

incalescent-heart requested a starter

As of late, the princess’s condition concerned the steadfast instructor. Her perseverance in her lessons wasn’t as strong as before. She seemed to grow weary easier and didn’t show as much optimism as before. Was there some foreign source that was bothering her?

He didn’t know the answer to that question.

He was willing to try to figure it out, however.

With subtle steps against the tiled floor of the main hallway, Takanemaru approached the place he was most likely to find the princess.

It wasn’t a hard place to find; she went there quite regularly.

Calling out to her, he said, “Hime-sama, I’d like to discuss something with you.”

In the Library, At Peace

Traversing through the quietest  room of the estate was Takanemaru, searching for a piece of literature to draw his interests. For the time being, he was graced with a chance to diverge from the usual stack of paperwork on his desk or taking care of the princess’s studies. It was an opportunity growing scarce in his day-to-day life. A hobby that was soon fleeting away before he was aware.

He would never blame the duties he’d been presented with by the Queen; however, they were important tasks that could only serve to preserve and improve the possibilities of a strong rule for the hier.

Pulling various tombs from their perch on the shelves they sat, the drone noted foot steps approaching his person.

An Audience in the Dining Hall

Treading footsteps quietly through the massive hallway towards the dining room, the blue haired instructor found himself lost in thought. Recently the princess was showing fast growth in her studies, practically consuming the knowledge he gave her like it was a special dessert she’d saved.

...Perhaps he was hungering for something himself. It was rare for the drone to compare things to food. He barely realized that his feet lead him in the direction of the dining room. He didn’t even realize the princess was seated on one of the many chairs of the elongated dining table until she greeted him.

“...Hello, Hime-sama.”

Rainy Spirits, Distant Sighs

Droplets fell from his blue locks, sticking to his face in various places. The coat, damp and plastered to the tall man’s body, made his figure appear heavier and more unrefined. With a tired hand, Takanemaru moved some hair out of his face. In the background, thunder hollered and lightning danced, a fine display of the mischief of nature. Slipping through the main door of the estate, the drone made note to not cause any unneeded ruckus. Quickly, he removed the rather weighted material off his person and handed it to a nearby person of the household staff.

Shivering and preparing to head to the bath, he barely noticed the sound of clacking heels approaching.

Tutoring and Gratitude

As the day crept away, the lesson between teacher and student was beginning its end. Takanemaru let out a long held breath and collected his paperwork. Glancing at the Queen-in-training, a fleeting smile fell on his lips. She’d proved to be a hard worker in her studies. Even with the occasional complaints, he knew that her indolence was never fully enacted. And that, he secretly thanked her for. Being in the care of her studies was made much simpler by that fact.

“Have you any questions or need for explanations?”

Giving a pause sufficient enough for her to respond, the drone kept a careful eye on her features, watching for any sign of confusion or otherwise.

A Drone's Fatigue

A foggy blue eye cast its sight on various embellishments and furniture decorating the sitting room, sluggishly. The time was near noon and the sun cast a cheerful glow on the lounge’s walls, however, Takanemaru’s posture only appeared to shrink into the plush sofa he sat on in an act to keep the strong light off his face. Grimacing, his hand concealed his eye from stray glimmers of the orb in the sky. He hadn’t the luck of choosing the right place to rest his weary body this time.

Stretching his arms, a popping sound echoed in the lonely room. The drone stood with a less than pleased frown marring his features and turned to head out the room and find a better place to relax.

Proper Speech Etiquette

Scanning his papers, Takanemaru found that it had been a while since he covered public speaking with the princess. Frowning, he scratched his head. How could he forget that out of all things? As the Queen’s successor, one of the most important skills the princess needed to learn was how to speak in the public eye.

This would not do.

With haste, he composed a small list of vocalization tools and hints he would teach her. Though the list was simple, the drone planned on elaborating.

For now, he needed to procure the princess for the lesson to begin.

Searching for Peace in the Library

For once, the princess’ instructor was not composed. Wracking his head for a solution to silence the hetero-chromatic bee chattering away by his person, he left for the library, ignoring the loud calls of the drone behind him..

If there was one place he would not be followed by the exuberant drone, it would be in the labyrinthine reference center. With sharp footsteps, Takanemaru delved deeper into the room.

Sighing, his fingers grazed the various spines of the shelved books lining his left and right.

His brows furrowed with the on comings of a headache.
