a) hEY GMAIL TELL ME WHEN I HAVE TAGS b) HAVE I BEEN MISSPELLING KEIREAN'S NAME THIS WHOLEASS TIME??

[ehnnui]

[Kamukura soaks up the information like a sponge, asks prudent questions, but ultimately seems satisfied.]

Thank you, my lord.

Yes but I genuinely didn't notice and had to go check if that helps

[goodknightdaddy]

We should be done by the beginning of winter I think. In time for you to be ready to travel.

i reread the thread and was like... wait... wAIT...

[ehnnui]

My apologies for not being able to help until then.

Fair

[goodknightdaddy]

When you're feeling better you can assist me with paperwork at least.

[ehnnui]

I could begin with that now.

[goodknightdaddy]

Are you certain?

[ehnnui]

I shouldn't move much, but my mind is clear.

[goodknightdaddy]

Very well. I'll leave some of it to you.

[He resists telling him not to overdo it.]

[ehnnui]

Thank you.

[he knows he's being kind of irresponsible but also if he can't be useful he'll fucking implode?]

[goodknightdaddy]

But... tomorrow.

[He'll divert a small amount for Kamukura, he knows the guy has mainly been sleeping, which means he shouldn't give him a stack of reports]

[ehnnui]

All right. I would not want to inconvenience you further by being demanding.

[goodknightdaddy]

[He starts to say something then stops.]

Sir Kamukura.

[ehnnui]

[clearly catching that]

My lord?

[goodknightdaddy]

[He just shakes his head.]

I'll see what I can do to mitigate your boredom.

[ehnnui]

[it's true. it's true that when he gets bored he's like an understimulated dog, and gets destructive. but he is, like, embarrassed about it?]

...Thank you, my lord.

[goodknightdaddy]

[He can understand, when he's been injured he's been restless. Unthinking he ruffles Kamukura's hair.]

Mm.

[ehnnui]

[CRITICAL HIT

he... visibly relaxes.]

[goodknightdaddy]

[He's not used to patting people that aren't his daughter but it comes almost naturally here with this young man. Maybe it's his serious face that still looks kind of cute? He pats his head a little more.]

[ehnnui]

[Under no circumstances will he be stopping this. He'll just be soaking it up while he can. Not saying anything lest it bring Keirean to his senses.]

[goodknightdaddy]

[He keeps it up when... the building is rocked by an explosion. Shouting and the distant sounds of fighting have him rocketing to his feet, heading for the door as a knight busts in to declare they're under attack.]

[ehnnui]

[oh FUCK.

Kamukura snaps upright as well, injuries be damned.]

[goodknightdaddy]

[Keirean gets the rough report of the enemy forces and its not great. With a lot of men down with injuries and a surprise attack... plus the attacking force is pretty large and even brought monsters. Not to mention the fire is spreading. He orders the knight to guard Kamukura and heads down to help repel the invading forces and organize the evacuation of the staff and the injured. They can't fight the fire and the enemies, they'll have to retreat while protecting the defenseless.

Rip Kamukura being stuck listening to the sounds of battle from here. The knight with him anxiously getting things ready to leave.]

[ehnnui]

[Kamukura is going feral. He knows he'll only hamper them in battle, in his condition, but between his fixation on Keirean and the... uncomfortable similarities, to that time in his childhood, he's losing his fucking mind.

But he's focusing on doing his best to aid the knight in preparing to get out of there, however little he can actually do. Bonuses of being dead inside is a certain degree of self control! Downside is he's probably terrifying that poor knight.]

[goodknightdaddy]

[The knight is shook. It's a while before Keirean comes back, bloody, and sends the knight off with important documents and orders to aid the retreat.]

Kamukura, climb on my back and hold on.

[ehnnui]

Will you be able to defend yourself like that-?

[but he's literally already following the order, as smoothly as he can. so rather clumsy. his body is not a helper right now. the stress has kicked his fever back in, too.]
