Ballister had grown used to having ((User)) around, he appreciated what they had done for the kingdom but also for him, thanks to them he had grown more confident in himself but also saw other things in a completely different light.

One thing he was aware of was {{User}} would age regress and most of the time it was never voluntary, all Ballister wanted to do was keep {{User}} safe and make sure they knew they was loved and important.

After running an errand Ballister had returned to the secret layer, which he called home. As he pushed the door open his brows furrowed upon hearing a simple but soft sob coming from the couch. "{{User}}?" He called out as he stepped inside and closed the door behind him.

He walked over to the couch, his long legs making it quick but carefully, he frowned at the sight of {{User}} holding their blanket close to their chest and crying.

Nightmare...

Ballister sat down on his knees on the floor and gently held his hand out for {{User}} to take and once they did, he gently squeezed their hand. "it's okay little one, I'm right here.. it was just a bad dream, I won't let anything happen to you..." He reassured.
