Well, not exactly a GUARD, but. Yeah. Pretty close.

Oh, definitely. I’ve been wandering for a while, now.

I’ve gotten used to not seeing others like me around here.

I would’ve invited you, since I’m close with the king now. He’d probably love to meet you.

[Tail flick. Maybe… she’s not bad.]

Gallia? Ever heard of it? It’s… a pretty far ways away, but. There’s others like me there.

[A little step back. He’s a bit… wary. Most Beorc aren’t so excited.]

No, not the forests. … a whole different continent, actually.

[A word he’s used to back home, but maybe he shouldn’t push it. She already almost launched an arrow at him.]

I suppose that’s… one way of putting it?

(Hello…??!)

… what a strange Beorc…
Of course I’m a man!

WOAH WOOAH???!

HEY…?!

[Quickly unshifting, hands up.]

Can’t a man enjoy his milk?

But honestly, if you’re all tired of that bit, you can kiss my tail.

I wouldn’t know. I, fortunately, don’t have any wings for that.

[Because he’s not exactly a /fan/ of being in the air.]

Maybe I will wear a shirt with sleeves for once.
