[immobileyes]

I wouldn't drop it!

[lionly]

It's not only dropping I'd be worried about.

--perhaps something smaller, if you ever needed a weapon. Like a knife, or a dagger. [But, that said,] Me and Nesso are around so you don't have to worry about danger, though.

[immobileyes]

Because you're my knights? [ best parents. ]

[lionly]

That we are, my lady. [He'll duck another little bow, grinning.

He means it, though. Being a knight... it's his life and his duty, and that protection extends to anyone around him who may be in danger, at any time. That's what it means, doesn't it? Now those knights under those princes, certainly some have been corrupted, or not given some knowledge, but... at least he and his company, Nesso's company, uphold it.]

[immobileyes]

[ And she grins back at him, curtsying a little bit. She knows all too well that she isn't a princess, isn't the princess they're used to protecting, but she's grateful for them. For Elza, and his mothering, and Nesso, and how she imagines a big brother would act. Zara, too. ]

But I'll do something for you, too... somehow. One day!

[lionly]

Aren't you doing something for me right now?

[He gestures with a light hand around them.] You're teaching me about a lot of things today.

[immobileyes]

Is that really such a big thing?

[lionly]

Of course! It's not only that... when I learn everything I need to, I'll be able to do more, and then I might be able to sometime teach someone else...

[His tail swishes lightly.] See? And you'll make sure I don't accidentally burn down our home.

[immobileyes]

... [ That's a very good point. ]

Do you know how to put out a fire?

[lionly]

With water? Sometimes sand, or blankets...

[Elza did you know that electrical fires are different...]

[immobileyes]

... We should see if there are fire extinguishers here.

[ and she'll gently nudge him onwards. ]

[lionly]

Fire extinguishers?

[Oh uh okay he'll let himself be nudged along.]

[immobileyes]

They're big red things that you can spray to put out fires!

[ she has never actually used one. ]

[lionly]

Big red things...?

[He doesn't even know how to start to visualise that...]

[immobileyes]

They're like giant cans-- [ wait do they have cans?? ] Um, I'll see if I can find one!

[lionly]

[?????]

This really is quite the adventure you're taking me on. [Learning about ALL KINDS of new things.]

[immobileyes]

But you're not learning it alone. [ and finally, she comes to an excited halt by a fire extinguisher hanging on the wall. ] Ah-- this thing!

[lionly]

Thank goodness for that. [But he blinks at the fire extinguisher... And reaches out to tap it with the point of a nail.] This can put out fires?

[immobileyes]

Yes! I think you just have to squeeze that handle.

[lionly]

[It feels metal... but the handle isn't...]

I suppose I shouldn't squeeze it right now? [Thankfully Elza is an intelligent, rational... lion so he doesn't just go grabbing things willy-nilly.]

[immobileyes]

You definitely shouldn't!

[lionly]

Got it, I won't. I'll save it for a fire.

[He laughs quietly.] Hopefully we won't have one of those too soon.

[immobileyes]

Everyone's gotten a lot better with the appliances, so I think we won't have to worry.

[lionly]

That's thanks to you and Zara, I think. Me and Nesso... Nesso especially, of course-- [But there's a fond note in his voice and he's obviously saying it to tease him, though Nesso's well out of earshot.

Eh, it's nothing he hasn't said to him already.]

--don't have as much of a head for this sort of thing.

[immobileyes]

... Maybe royals have a harder time with it. Or knights?

[ hmmmm. ]
