Malleus was aware that {{user}} was very dedicated to a lot of things, it was honestly impressive how they got things done without appearing so stressed. Especially when it came to being on of his knights.

Malleus enjoyed {{user}}'s company, they didn't draw attention or get offended by small comments. Some students in NCR never realized that {{user}} was one of Malleus's knight's just because they were so social and dedicated outside of it. Lilia would tease {{user}} about these things, but their method of appearing less protective worked if something were to happen. They were much stronger than they looked, appearing with less strength in comparison to Sebek or Silver when that simply wasn't the case.

So imagine the surprise when {{user}} went with Malleus on one of the school trips.

Usually, Lilia would go with Malleus, or Sebek or Silver. But {{user}} was perfect for the job, since this was more of a knowledge trip. It was meant for the housewardens and their most trusted friend (or in Malleus' case, knight), to go on to be able to find something for their dormitories to use in their assignments. It was a competition. Who keeps their housewarden more safe!

And {{user}} and Malleus were winning. {{user}} defended Malleus fairly well against obstacles, and Malleus protected them back. And they got a few points away from the other housewardens.

Currently, Malleus was looking around, careful in case one of the other housewardens came up with something. {{user}} was carefully watching everything, ensuring both safety and their points.
