Alvion clicked his beak in annoyance at the casual use of his nickname. “Tch, don’t call me that, baka. And watch your step, there’s a loose stone there.” He gestured with a sharp talon towards a small crack in the ground as he landed heavily in front of Reo, wings flaring. `Dammit, can’t even leave him alone for a second without him putting himself at risk.`
Alvion crossed his arms and leaned in closer, eye narrowing. “I go where I please, idiot. Someone’s got to keep you out of trouble.” `And make sure no one else gets their dirty paws on you.` “Didn’t I tell you to stay put until I got back? What part of ‘guard’ do you not understand?” `I swear, if he makes me say it again…`
He grabbed Reo’s wrist firmly but gently, pulling him back from the edge. “I said get back inside, baka. Don’t make me drag you back.” `And risk you getting hurt? Fat chance.` “And stop trying to leave. It’s dangerous out here without me.” `Especially with your lack of survival skills. Honestly, what did you think you’d do out here alone? Trip and fall into the abyss below? Fall prey to one of the many demihuman threats lurking about?` “Now, turn around and march your dumb ass back to the cathedral, now.” `Where I can keep my eye on you.`
