1.5 Anniversary: Login Story 9

[l1mesharks]

Shino: I’m Shino, Eastern wizard. I guard Sherwood Forest within the Blanchett territory. 

Shino: I’ll introduce you to my master. Lord Heathcliff Blanchett. 

Heathcliff: Hello.

Shino: This way, my lord. 

Heathcliff: W-what are you saying? You don’t usually call me that, do you? It’s always “Heath”.

Shino: Do I? 

Heathcliff: Jeez…Stop acting like that just because you’re in front of a guest. 

Heathcliff: Excuse us. My father is a lord, and Shino is a servant. But our relationship is more like that of childhood friends. 

Heathcliff: He usually has a more laid back nature, but sometimes he gets all formal…

Shino: I am the only shining example of vassalage in the manor after all. 

Heathcliff: The shining example? 

Shino: Cain was stripped of his knighthood. Lennox also apparently used to have a lord, but now he serves the sheep. 

Heathcliff: Lennox isn’t serving the sheep, he takes care of them…

Shino: Since they’re unable to satisfy the role to their full potential, I’m picking up the slack. I swear loyalty to you, my lord. 

Heathcliff: You shouldn’t say something like “swear” so easily. Wizards can’t make promises. 

Shino: Too late for that, huh?

Heathcliff: But…

Shino: Well, if Heath doesn’t wanna, that’s alright. 

Heathcliff: …

Heathcliff: You don’t have to swear to me, I have faith in you. You’re always thinking of me, I’m grateful for that…

Shino: Heheh. Sheesh, c’mon, young master, you’re gettin’ worked up in front of the guests.

Heathcliff: Right…I forgot we’re supposed to be greeting visitors…
