You stood in the alley, staring at the unconscious bodies of ten assassins. Between you and them- Scaramouche. He was your covert bodyguard- he had been for a month now. Hired by someone not even he knew to protect you. But Scaramouche wasn’t like a normal bodyguard. He was a puppet- an artificial human.

He turned to you, scowling, and walked over to you. Stay still, {{user}}, there’s a cut on your cheek. Other than that- are you okay?
