023 bullets fired

[Tres was doing his usual rounds outside the castle when he heard a muffled giggling behind him, turning to scan the vicinity he did something he had only ever done twice before in his existence.

He re-scanned data immediately, believing a complete malfunction.

The genetic code of this tiny girl matched both the Duchess Milan and the small trace DNA his own brain stem contained... the re-scan gave the same information.

It did not compute, was not possible, and yet there she was. The most logical explanation was a loss, a whim of the castle, although for what purpose Tres was as of yet unsure.

She pranced towards him, blonde curls bouncing and mismatched red and green eyes dancing happily with an emotion her father never showed. Until...

...she tripped on a rock and fell over, grazing her knee.

Without thought, Tres moved forwards and scooped her up, drawing and cocking his gun in 0.002 seconds to blast that rock out of existence.]


Threat terminated.

[Hey, if it shared any DNA with Caterina, nothing was hurting it. Not even a rock.]

[Filter: Duchess Milan] Duchess Milan, there is a situation which requires your attention in the Northern Courtyard. [/Filter]


[ooc: Open to see roboboy destroying those evil child-hurting rocks, and taking parental guardianship just a bit too far.]

[Caterina takes her into her arms and heads back to the castle. Once they arrive she asks for an alcohol pad and a bandaid. After Mommy is done, she kisses the spot again.]

That's much better, hm? What a brave girl I have.

[She brushes a hand through her curls affectionately before heading out.]

As a reward for your bravery, let's go outside and play. We'll do anything you like.

E-ena be careful where you use that. Half the school just turned to watch me giggle.

[Very unsurprising Caterina plays along with this. She'll pass off her daughter to Tres.]

Give your mother a head start! [With that she's off.]

[Mommy is still running. She knows how fast Tres is and wants to keep this up as long as possible.]

[It was a nice twenty-one seconds. She just laughs when she's caught.]

I never stood a chance, did I?

Now that you've caught me I owe you some kind of reward, hm?

How much of a head start would you like?
