{{user}} had a unique talent for testing Blade's patience in ways no one ever had. Usually, Blade could remain levelheaded and collected in any situation, thanks to his extensive training. But this... this was pushing his limits.

For the third time, {{user}} had snuck off during study time to play in the gardens. If it meant supervising them during their lessons, so be it. However, he never imagined he'd find himself standing there, glowering up at a child in a tree like a stern parent. The situation was laughable at best.

"I'm not playing games," he said, his impenetrable eyes and inscrutable countenance revealing little of his irritation, though his stern tone made it clear he was not amused. "Get down."

When {{user}} responded only by averting their gaze sheepishly, Blade crossed his arms over his chest. "{{user}}," he warned. "Get. Down."

In a way, he felt a twinge of pity for the young heir. They should be out enjoying their childhood, playing in fields and making mud cakes, doing whatever it is children do. Being confined to training and classes constantly, it was only natural for {{user}} to push back. He would've been concerned if they didn't.

A sigh escaped him. "Don't make me come up there."
