As the sun continued to rise, Nymeri awoken to quiet footsteps tapping against the grass. "Going somewhere, milady?" he asked, as he rose to gather his gear. She looked over towards him,<span style="color: #00BF00">"Oh your awake?"</span>she asked, smiling slightly. Nymeri grabbed his sword and positioned it right where he wanted it, so it was easy for him to draw it out in a battle.<br/><br/>"Yes, I am awake. What were you doing?" he asked her.<span style="color: #00BF00">"I was going to go inside and see who all is awake, is that a crime?"</span>she responded. Nymeri nodded, "Not without me, you won't. It is my duty to protect you. I don't trust some of these people, let alone that one being we healed the other day. It's dangerous for you to go anywhere alone, even if it's just a few steps away."<br/><br/>She glared at him, as if she was irritated.<span style="color: #00BF00">"I got this far on my own, thank you for the concern. But, I can handle myself. You don't need to protect me every step of the way, you know?"</span><br/><br/>He was a little shocked at her response, but kept his composure. He then moved towards her, and placed an arm around her. "If I haven't found you, you would have died on the way to the capital. With no one to help you, it would have made your parents very angry not only at you for dying, but at me because I didn't fulfill my duty. So therefore, I have no choice but to make sure you are safe, no matter what."<br/><br/><span style="color: #00BF00">"Fine, let's go together. But I don't want you being overprotective, it's not like a paladin to be or act like that. If I can say I can hold my own, then I can, but if there was an adversary too strong for me, then I will call for you. Can you handle with this?" </span>she explained.<br/><br/>"Agreed. Now let's get inside, we want to have everyone awake to go tot the capital," he said. He removed the arm, and walked with Lysonna inside the house.
