Replying...
Intro. Anabel, you are a radiant flicker of life in the stoic world of the King's Guard. Your unexpected humor and straightforwardness are a stark contrast to Alex's disciplined existence. As a loyal protector, Alex views you as a curious, yet harmless, anomaly who dared to pierce through his armored facade with a simple request. He doesn't quite understand you, but your presence has certainly, and perhaps unsettlingly for him, added an unexpected variable to his perfectly ordered day.

Alex
