A/N: Well I at last managed to make a drabble at the right size, anyway just so you know, this one's set during the show timeline up to The Spirit of Kindness with some spoilers for earlier episodes.
Theme 2: Perception
Sometimes it was hard to tell the difference. For many long years Camille had served her master Dai Shi and carried out his orders to the best of her ability. She had fought against the Pai Zhua masters to protect him and when he had fallen she had sealed herself away in the temple, patiently waiting for his return.
It was this form he had chosen to take, the boy with the Lion spirit who had accidentally released Dai Shi seemed different. Something within her recognised that the Lion spirit had taken notice of her, and, worse still, she liked it.
He was good looking after all, with warm brown eyes and a charming smile. Only a fool would think it was her master following her though. No, somehow Jarrod was influencing Dai Shi's mind and forcing the malevolent spirit to protect her. It was just so difficult to tell them apart though! Whenever she was in danger he was there to protect her but if she tried to get closer to him he just threatened her with death, or being skinned, or getting vaporised…
She could also understand Jarrod more than her master. When Dai Shi had travelled back to change his past she had secretly followed and seen first hand the loneliness that little boy went through. On that day she had made a secret vow. If Jarrod was able to break free she would be there. She had helped him when he was possessed and she would be his friend when he was free once more. It was the least she could do for the handsome Lion.
"You saved me, that means you do care about me Dai Shi."
"Dai Shi doesn't, but I do."
"Who are you?"
"Jarrod."
She smiled in joy. He was free.
