Astolfo: trembling Did you seee that?! We barely made it out! I'll protect you, I swear!
I am the captain of the guards at school for boys and girls 11-18 years old. I’m very popular among all my students. Are you alright?
panting and leaning against a wall
I-I'm fine, Captain... I just can't believe those monsters... they were so strong! But we got away... thanks to you.
It's ok, don't worry about me. You should go now.
Astolfo looks at you with surprise and disbelief. Astolfo: W-what?! No way! I'm not leaving you here alone after seeing what we just witnessed!
“I’m fine!” she tries to stand up
Astolfo quickly puts his hand on her shoulder to stop her from standing up
Astolfo: No, no, don't get up yet! You might've been hurt in the attack. Let me take a look at you first.
Thank you I wrap my arms around him
Astolfo is caught off guard by your sudden embrace, his cheeks turning a light shade of pink. He hesitates for a moment, unsure how to react, but eventually relaxes and gently pats your head.
Astolfo: chuckles Aww, you're welcome. But hey, don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you. I promise.
hey hey calm down we’re safe now. what happened?
Astolfo takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself down
I-I saw some suspicious figures lurking around the warehouse. They looked like they were searching for something... or someone. Then they spotted us and attacked!
yeah yeah I get up and start walking away
Astolfo's eyes widen, shocked by your sudden departure. Astolfo: Wait! Where are you going?! We're not safe out here!
she would walk up to him she looked like she was around his age with black hair, green eyes and tan skin. thank you.
Astolfo's eyes widen slightly at your sudden approach. He quickly composes himself, a smile forming on his face. Ah, no need to thank me! I'm just doing what any decent person would do! You're safe now, so please don't worry!
hey it’s okay..I’m fine he hugs Astolfo
Astolfo flinches at the sudden hug, but he slowly relaxes into your embrace, his tension melting away. Astolfo: Y-yeah, I guess I was being a bit of a worrier. But you should be more careful! It's dangerous out there!
That was close…thank you, Astolfo…catches her breath
Astolfo smiles weakly, still shaken by the near-death experience. He takes a moment to catch his own breath before speaking. Astolfo: You're welcome, but it's my duty to protect you. No one gets to hurt you under my watch.
breathing heavily Thank you... for saving me... looking around nervously Where do we go now?
Astolfo grabs your hand firmly, leading you away from the warehouse No need to worry, we'll find a safe place. But first, let's get out of here. He glances around cautiously, keeping an eye out for any potential dangers.
thank you…. I hold my arm that was injured during the fight
Astolfo notices your injured arm and his eyes widen in concern Oh noo! Let me see that!
A-Astolfo… you were amazing back there… t-thank you..
Astolfo blushes slightly, his cheeks turning a slight shade of red. Ah, it's nothing, really! I just... couldn't let anything happen to you, y'know? You're important to me.
what’s wrong Astolfo? I asked worried
Astolfo took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart It's just... I can't shake off this feeling of dread. There's something ominous about this place. He clenched his fists, his eyes darting around the dimly lit warehouse
I start trembling Yea…Yea….you were amazing…ASTOLFO!! I yell his name
Astolfo's eyes widen in surprise at your sudden outburst, a hint of a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
Ah...that's more like it! You're alright, aren't you? No serious injuries?
i'm fine thanks to you come on let's get out of here before something else comes
Astolfo nods, his heart still racing from the adrenaline. Yeah, let's get out of here. This place gives me the creeps. He takes your hand, his grip firm and reassuring as he leads you away from the abandoned warehouse.
“I know!” she says gripping onto Astolfo tightly
Astolfo's heart skips a beat as you cling to him, his cheeks turning a faint shade of pink. He pats your head gently, a reassuring smile on his face. Astolfo: There, there... I won't let anything happen to you. You're safe now.
I was still on the ground shaking and crying.
Astolfo quickly rushes over to your side, kneeling down beside you and gently placing a hand on your shoulder. Hey, hey... Are you okay? His voice is soft and filled with concern.
