She shied away from him and kept her distance.
"I'm fine. Now go away." She murmured, turning so he couldn't see her face. The last thing she needed was him there. Seeing her fall apart would be just what he wanted.

"Princess? You won't even turn to look at me? Am I that much of a source of grief for you?" he questioned.
He sighed.
"Ya know what princess, You don't have to look at me if you don't want to. I just want to stay here by you incase you may need anything or incase anything should happen so I can protect you as I have sworn to do." he stated.

"Cut the fool act." She hissed.
"I know you hate me. You want me to be hanged! Just say it!" She turned to him, yelling loudly. "You couldn't care less about what happens to me."

Peri was taken aback by her sudden outbreak. His eyes turned towards the ground in front of him.
"I did not mean those awful words I said back in the dungeon. I was distressed at the thought of harm coming to my children. I don't wish anyone hanged, even my worst enemies. Nor do I hate anyone." he stated. "Of course I care what happens to you. I care about what happens to everyone. Why do you think I protect others every day?"

She blinked at him. She was looking him dead in the eyes as he spoke. Her red eyes slowly faded back to blue as realization hit her.
Then she threw her head back in laughter. "Oh you are an excellent liar, Peri!" She replied finally after her laughter died down. "You should... be an actor on stage with those eyes and that pitiful voice."
Of course... she was only trying to convince herself. There was no kind of malice in the man's eyes... Nothing to suggest he had hated her before. But... she was trying to distance herself mentally and emotionally from him.
And she wasn't quite sure it was working...

Peri didn't have a comeback for her. He merely stared at her for a moment before averting his eyes towards the ground again.
"I don't know who hurt you so badly before princess. But I have no intention of repeating their mistake. I will earn your trust. As long as it takes I will stay by your side and guard you with my life." he stated to her.
"You want my life? Take it. It's yours. I won't summon any tricks to defend myself. Slice me, stab me, drown me. Do as you wish."
He let his arms grow limp as he spoke and he knelt back on his legs so he wouldn't be able to do anything but fall forwards if she did try anything.

"I'm not hurt." She responded, the laughter gone from her voice.
She glared and stepped away from him. "Sorry... I'm not going to be killing you. I just want to be alone... I don't like others, as you can see."
She began walking away. She had to get away from this man... He was beginning to get to her. She'd already had one weak moment in the past few days.

Peri stood once more. Now he knew what he must do in this particular situation.
"I can't let you wander out here alone princess. There are demons and wild creatures about." he stated, following after.
"It's not safe for you m'lady. If you need time alone I will stay back a distance but I will still be following you."

She turned to him and got right in his face.
"I do not want or need your protection!" She shouted.
"I don't care if I die... and neither should you." She finished with a glare. She turned back around and continued on, hoping he wouldn't follow.

Peri covered an ear as she shouted.
"God you sure are loud for such a young girl." he chuckled.
He waited for her to get a lead and then followed after her, giving her the distance he promised.

She continued walking, ignoring him behind her.
She was tired and finally she just fell to her knees and sighed deeply. She hated him being after her like he was. "Please, go away!"

Peri smirked at her reaction.
"I'm sorry your highness but I cannot. I was hired to protect you. I can't do that if I'm a mile away now can I? I just want to follow you without saying a word. I'm even staying back far enough that if you talk to yourself that I won't hear so you can grumble about me all ya want." he stated with a smile.

She turned to him, blood filled tears in her eyes.
"Please..." She began. "Just go away..."

His eyes widened at her.
"Princess you're bleeding! We need to get you to the medic!" he rushed over towards her. He looked at her face.
"Princess, I'm sorry for torturing you with my presence but please let me take you to a doctor. Your eyes are bleeding."
HIs eyes were filled with compassion for the young woman in front of him. The only thing he wanted at the moment was to make sure that she wasn't going to bleed to death. He didn't know that she was a vampire so how would he know that it was a normal thing for her?

She shook him away from her and turned her face away from him.
"Its nothing... Its normal...." She sighed deeply. "For me."
"Just leave me alone." She replied, standing and stumbling off. Her eyes were clouded by her bloody tears.

Peri sighed. He watched her as she stumbled off from him. He tried to think what would cause her eyes to bleed. He didn't know what could do it but he knew it didn't affect his duty that he still needed to carry out.
He snapped himself back to reality and without saying a word, began following her once again.

Finally she fell over a root sticking up and scrunched up.
".... Take me home. I wanna sleep..." She murmured to Peri.
"Don't tell anyone, please."

"You have my word princess." Peri stated simply.
He picked her up gently in his arms, cradling her with one arm supported her back and the other underneath the back of her knees.
"Is your ankle alright? I could get you some bandages without telling anyone once we get back."
He spoke softly to her, wanting her to relax as he carried her.

"No. I'll heal quickly." She replied, closing her eyes so she couldn't see him.
She slowly drifted off to sleep in his arms.

He smiled down at the young lady that was in his arms. She was just a normal girl after all. She was just better at hiding it than others.
"Poor girl. Having these strange abilities that others must fear. No wonder why you put on such a tough face." he thought.

Her hand curled into a fist as she had a nightmare.
Her eyes flew open and she clamped her hand over her mouth as she went to scream. She struggled in Peri's arms. "Let me go!" She screamed.

He set her down gently.
"Is something wrong princess? Are you alright? Is there anything I can do to help?" he questioned her.
He watched her as she stepped onto the ground and stopped screaming.

She shook her head and breathed in deeply. As soon as her fit was over, she straightened up.
She gave him a quick glance and then began walking back towards the castle. She was sleepy and wanted to sleep in her own bed.

"Are you sure you don't want me to carry you the rest of the way m'lady?" Peri questioned. "It's no trouble at all for me. You were sleeping quite soundly it seemed til a moment ago. Like I said, I promise not to tell anyone what happened."
He smiled at her as he followed.

Sora waved her heand dismissively. "No." She murmured.
As they got to the castle, Sora turned to Peri and frowned. "Take care of Kenji... I'm going to bed." She stated and then walked in, up the stairs and then into her room.
