(Indeed, education first and all that. Especially since exams seem to possess the innate ability to outright destroy anyone not prepared for them. >_>)<br/><br/>Eilnear's eye would widen in surprise as the girl revealed herself to be what could count as royalty, almost unable to believe the charge she had rescued. Even the name of the Duke sounded vaguely familiar to her amidst her clouded memory. The temptation to grovel before her was indeed overwhelming but the barbaric woman held back against doing so. After all, with how the girl was, she might be greatly embarrassed.<br/><br/>But what truly perked her interest was how she seemed to be suffering the same form of amnesia, only select memories being left in her mind. Just as she herself knew little about her past life. Either way, it would see to be best to stick together for now, the burly woman not missing how her companion had gone missing before the girl trailed off. Apparently there were some bad memories there.<br/><br/>"I apologize, Miss Lorelle, for making you revisit those memories. But I thank you for now we know we both share the same predicament. As such it would be wise to-!" Her hand shot to her head, clenching her temples as that dark desire surfaced once again but stronger than ever. This time, that dark voice was in it for total control for a while and not settling for less, overwhelming her mind once again and taking up presence as that hand left her hand with a sigh.<br/><br/>"Ah, where was I? Oh, it would be wise to stick together~ And I'd be more than willing to protect you until we get to the bottom of this. But all I need from you~" Dropping to all fours, Eilnear would slink closer to her charge, an uncharacteristically wide grin on her face as she came closer. "Is for you to tell me how much you<span style="font-style: italic">need</span>me~ How much you<span style="font-style: italic">desire</span>me~ To become your shield and axe against any who would try to harm you~ What say you~? Will you allow me such glorious honors to protect you?<span style="font-style: italic">Princess</span>~?" With a soft chuckle, it was obvious that Eilnear was not in control of the words she was saying, even if such desires were merely buried in the back of her mind.
