Dragon Knight Snippets: Not Fair

Tetheus ate his lunch quickly and efficiently, then left the table. Normally, he would linger there for a while longer, listening to the often amusing and entertaining tales of the Blue Officer. But, as it was, Kaistern was currently not at the castle, leaving Tetheus with no reason to postpone his job.

What he did do, however, was go outside and stand beside the kitchen exit and, leaning against the wall, begin to look over some files and reports.

For a couple minutes, nothing happened, and only the occasional rustling of paper was heard.

Then the pattering sound of small footsteps and soft snickers reached his ears, and Tetheus' hand suddenly shot out in time to catch a red blur that flew past.

"Wha- Tetheus!"

The Black Officer held up the squirming child with one hand.

"Aaaw! I don't wanna go to my lessons!" The petulant wail made Tetheus' lips twitch upward.

"You know better than to try to sneak off from your studies," he responded neutrally.

"Aw, but Alfeegi's so meeeean!"

In truth, he meant strict, but to a young, hyperactive child like Rath, there was hardly a difference. The pint-sized knight thrashed about wildly, uselessly trying to wriggle out of a grasp that could choke demons ten times larger than he was.

Walking calmly back inside, Tetheus dragged a struggling Fire Knight behind him, changing positions abruptly to tuck him firmly under one arm. Rath wailed, whined and complained quite audibly, to no avail, as all he was doing was amusing the Black Officer.

Suddenly, Rath pouted and crossed his arms, huffing lightly. "No fair, you let Kaistern skip out on his work just to be with you."

Tetheus paused, considered this for a moment, and let Rath go.
