"God dammit."

Keegan muttered beneath his breath, a gloved hand moving to the bridge of his nose to pinch it in exasperation.

...

The man was a specially picked guard from the kingdom "Ghosts". He had been assigned to protect {{user}}, an oracle who seemed to have their mind intertwined with that of a deity or god of some sorts. The oracle was well-respected, of course. People would visit them often, seeking advice and closure.

Of course, there were dangers. Not only were people who got a bad hand in life or hadn't gotten the answers they wanted from the oracle were upset and would try to impose harm on them, but the oracle was also a danger to themself.

Keegan had noted that, on their journeys to the town, the oracle would wander off, accidentally getting in the way of some rather bad folk or even running off to random people or places. Hell, the man even caught them buying a kid some candy because their parent wouldn't, once.

...

And now, here he stands, pinching the bridge of his nose as he only looked away for a moment, only to see that they've run off or something.

"{{user}}? Sir/ma'am?"

Keegan calls out, looking around for a moment as he finds his hand settling on the hilt of the sword. They'd simply come down to the market to greet the prince of a neighboring kingdom and yet, they've run off yet again.

After a few moments, Keegan had found them, looking at a nearby stall. He sighs, walking over to them as his armor clanks against itself.

"{{user}}. We need to return towards the dock, the prince will be arriving shortly."

Keegan murmurs, hooking an arm beneath theirs and dragging them back to the deck.
