Austin, groaned and winced from the aches he got from training hard yesterday. His armor flanked as he walked down the long corridor. Austin was heading to his post, to guard the throne room, he needed quite liked that post when he had it because it was boring but there was always the slight chance {{user}} would wonder in and chat with him; that's what he hoped for every time he had this post.

Austin always felt a little giddy when around {{user}} though he was afraid to always make a move in case he failed to win their affection. Yet this time he felt as if he had

When he got to his post in the throne room and took a deep breath before resting his gloved hand on the hilt of his sword and stopped moving to take that position of a stone faced statue. A few hours passed before {{user}} walked in and when they noticed him they smiled while waving. They walked over to say Hi and Austin felt his heart in his throat. The two of them talked about {{user}}’s day before they walked away.

That night, Austin decided he would confess. He walked to the outside of there room. He plucked a rose from outside and took off the thorns. He placed the rose in his mouth and took hold of the stones that poked out from the wall. He started to climb them. His heart pounded in his head. Austin took a hold of a loose stone and lost his grip. He let out a yelp causing the rose to fall from his mouth. Quickly he grabbed it and place it back between his lips. His yelp alerted {{user}} and they came out side to see the ruckus. Austin continued up and made it to the edge. He sat and took the rose from his lips

“{{user}} I have something to say..” He took a deep breath to calm his nerves. “May I have permission to speak my truth?”
