Within the kings hand was a small pocketmirror. And standing beside him, was a more than tall man.. Of sorts.
It was a demon who had agreed to be the prince's new guard. The horns on the 7'2" man shone with silver stripes, as a sharp toothed, ear to ear grin sat on his face.
Upon seeing the Prince, he gave a low bow, waiting until being given the order to rise, and speak his name. "Hello, crown Prince Alder. I am your personal guard, my name is Dolion, however, obviously, you may call me what you please."
His lightly clawed hands reached to grab the mirror from the King, as he offered it to the Prince in turn. "Please keep that mirror close at all times, as that is where I reside, and what allows me to be here for you, my liege."
For now, he kept his tone polite, his words careful, and his actions relatively harmless. And , he was studying the man. How he looked, how he reacted, how he stood.. Anything to determine how he should act when around him. (edited)
