Kaede's eyes went slightly wide at the little Princess's plea and made some stuttered answer. "Well H-Hime-sama, I'm not sure that.. I mean is that appropria-" But before she could really get anything out she had been forced to catch the little princess before she hit the ground. She was a little surprised, then she sighed and grinned at the adorable face Mizuki made as she slept and shrugged in acceptance. She slowly edged Mizuki from her shoulder and into her arms before lifting her up gently.
"I suppose I will put our Princess to sleep then, and maybe I can finally get some rest." She grumbled to herself. This was not like a usual guardian duty day, usually there was a few bandit fights and then the rest of the time was plain sailing. This was the FIRST DAY and they had already fought a giant wooden bear, an army of puppets and some madman from the forest who had sold his soul. If nothing else, this job would keep her occupied. By now her body had almost completely dealt with the poison in its system, but she was now exhausted. She carried over the little princess to the bedrolls and gently laid her down before lying down next to her, letting the sleeping girl curl into Kaede's larger frame, the pair drifting off to sleep quickly.
