EMOTION: OVERWHELMED
⊰✰⊱▬▬ ；Simon Blackquill believed himself to be completely in control of all of his faculties. However, when he met the daughter of his favourite researcher of psychology he seemed to have utterly forgotten himself. Now, he was a man of reason and great honour; to fall for a small child was unseemly and very much illegal. But he told himself it was not the love of a man with a woman he felt, oh, no, no, no, no, no. He knew his boundaries all too well. Nay, what emotion that had him was utter captivation.
✰✰✰ The child was a darling.
✰✰✰ All right, so maybe there was such a form of love at first sight. Perhaps the kind of infatuation that had silly schoolgirls chittering about small and adorable things they happened upon. Yes, that was it. Like coming across an incredibly cute little yellow chick, his heart melted because Athena was a darling, adorable little lady.
✰✰✰ On the first day they met, he knelt in front of her as a samurai would upon meeting the princess of a feudal land, head bowed respectfully. And right then and there, overcome with a swell of something in his breast, he quietly swore fealty to Metis and promised that he would forever protect his mentor's greatest treasure.
