A small,young and grumpy Keith held onto his mentors shirt, following closely behind as the older explained the layout of the large castle and rules he had to follow closely. His bright eyes looked around in admiration. It was so large and clean. "Where do you play?" He asked softly, picking up his pace as he the older done the same. His small legs went into a slow jog as he tried to keep up. "We don't play anymore. That isnt your job." He replied, looking down at the small galren (?) boy. "You need to train to protect them."

"Who's them?"

"The prince and princess."

"Who are they?"

"You'll see,Keith."

Keith frowned and nodded, running up to his side "Siro. Slow down."  He huffed loudly,blowing his hair from his eyes.

"Shiro. Pronouncing things correctly is important." He crossed his arms and looked forward before quickly bowing. "Prince." He said softly, voice going from stern to gentle at the young man infront of him. He nudged Keith to bow.

Keith, of course, didnt listen. He just looked at the dark toned boy with the stripes under his eyes curiously "What's wrong with his ears?"

Lances cheeks went red, his blue eyes widened considerably. He covered his ears and glared at the boy with purple tinted skin "My ears!?" He said with offense "You're a furry!"

"Your hairless. And your fingers are like stu-ow!" He squeaked, glaring darkly at Shiro. He bent down, bowing infront of the Prince.

Lance stuck his nose in the air and walked past,tripping Keith as he done so. He quickly ran off before the small guard in training could react. 

Keith growled deeply and flicked his wrist, small claws extending his fingers. "I'll slit hi-"

Shiro lifted him off the ground and flicked his forehead "Keith. Calm. Now." He sighed,walking down the hall "Hes just young like you. More playful though."

"We cant play. It isnt our job."

"That's correct."

Skip 10 years. (Imma just say they're 16)

Keith stood outside the princes door, his ears standing up straight, his posture perfect. He was listening for anything wrong, waiting for a command of some sort. He ran his tongue along his sharp teeth as he began to hum quietly. He couldn't deny it was boring standing here all day just to watch over the bratty prince. He didnt understand why he was assigned to this job. Shiro easily could have watched him. It isnt like the Prince listened to a word he said anyway. He sighed heavily as his ears twitched,hearing the Prince grunting softly like he was struggling. He softly knocked on the door and asked "are you alright, your highness?"

"Perfect! Splendid! Yeah!" He yelled.

Keith sighed ever softly once again and pushed open the door. His face and ears dropped at seeing the boy half out the window. "Your highness,please step inside." He said simply, taking small steps towards him
