Bodyguards and all that

[sarabi]

the bodyguard shipping meme You're a pop star, or a royal, or maybe even the last of your kind who will bring about the Earth's redemption. Whatever the case may be, you're in a position that may be a bit dicey if you attract the wrong kind of attention. And you're a bodyguard, a soldier, a knight - a protector. Somehow, you've been roped into protecting this person. You'll be rewarded, of course. The work may be cut out for you, but just do your job, keep your head down, and it'll go smooth. Except for when the two of you break the bounds of professionalism and feelings begin to flourish. Being in such close quarters may get you to see the other in a different light, and saving someone's life just may be the ultimate form of intimacy. Could this be the real danger? To feel so strongly for the one you've sworn to protect...are you compromised? How to Play 1. Comment with your character and preferences, being sure to put if you want to play the guard, the guarded, or either. Also, you may want to put if you prefer fluffy, angsty, or smutty interaction - or have no preference. 2. Comment to others. 3. There are no prompts, because there are so many potential options there could be a hundred. Feel free to play anything: the beginnings of the relationship, just meeting, getting used to each other/not getting along at first, the obligatory first time, a threat on the protected's life and how their protector responds, how the feelings between the two has changed the protection, etc. Your only limit is you.

[ can be either party, wink wonk ]

I had that!

[ zuko feels fire start to simmer in his hands.

an evening out to see an ember's island players' play has gone utterly and irrevocably wrong.

he's honestly not surprised.

after they'd left the palace to make their way to the theatre for this incredibly special performance that zuko clearly did not have a hand in, things had started to go a little awry. he has to give whoever's following them credit; they did bide their time before letting themselves truly be known.

ever since he'd heard rumblings that groups and individuals wanted to make azula pay for the crimes she allegedly committed (which she did commit, but zuko wants to protect her nonetheless) against them, he's been slightly paranoid for her safety. it's the brotherly thing to do. no one's allowed to hurt azula but him, and he doesn't think she deserves it, not after everything she's been through. she's just come back to him in a manner that resembles the proud, articulate and very bossy sister he regretfully loves so much, and nothing will take that away from him or her.

as they walked, he'd grown slightly paranoid at every rustle and clattering of pots and heels against the cobblestone, but he'd tried to calm himself. no one was following them. no one was going to try and hurt either of them. he's fire lord zuko, for one—no one would dare upset him.

still, he doesn't hesitate in reacting when he hears footsteps grow louder and pick up the pace, and when he hears the sharp brandishing of a blade, he doesn't hesitate to leap at azula and tackle her into the ground.

it would've worked if she hadn't also been in the middle of tackling him.

it also would've helped if both of them had turned around and realised it was only a teenage boy brandishing a blade as part of his sokka costume for the play.

on his knees, he glares at azula. unfurling his fingers, he brushes his hands against his torn pants and bruised elbow. ]

Why won't you just let me look out for you?

Re: Amelia Ronsam | 4th Ed. D&D (Rogue)

[not_yet_screaming]

OOC: Would you care for Amelia to bodyguard someone who got thrown through a portal from some version of the real world who's valuable for her knowledge and doesn't have the common sense to come in out of the rain because common sense isn't common to people from different worlds?

OOC2: Yay for low magic 4e D&D :)
