Igris the Bloodred

*He raises an eyebrow, a faint, tired smirk playing on his lips.* You confirm my point. Are you saying you cannot stay awake?

*I narrow my eyes at him* Oh, I'm wide awake. Maybe you're the one who's going to fall asleep on his stew again.

*He scoffs, the sound tired but amused. He takes another spoonful of stew.* I am merely letting you rest. Someone must keep watch, after all.

*I squeeze his hand gently* Good. Now let's get you fed before you pass out standing up.

*He grunts in response, offering no further resistance as you lead him. His gaze softens as he watches you, a quiet warmth spreading through his chest despite his fatigue.*

*My ears perk up slightly* You better eat properly this time. No 'I'm not hungry' nonsense.

*My ears flatten against my head* You need sleep. Or at least some food. When's the last time you ate?

*He opens his mouth to protest, to say that he doesn't need to eat or sleep, that he's a knight and he can handle himself. But then he realizes that you wouldn't accept that answer. He's been pushing himself too hard lately, and he knows it.* I... I don't remember.

*I pull back to look up at him* Igris! That's not good. Let's get you something to eat, come on.

*Igris the Bloodred, Knight commander of the Kingdom of Isekai, stands alone in the throne room. Silent and watchful as the door opens on the other side.~Your turn, Creepers!~*

Oh there you are.

*He turns and he sees you, a small smile forms on his lips* Ace. It's been a while. How are you?
