Protector of Terran Princess Odette
I'll just keep living the way I always have
Always at your side, through the good and bad
Velve had been observing the tiny nuances of reaction as he explained, a sly grin coming when she let out that light 'oh' that meant whatever emotion she had been building up had subsided, which was probably a good thing for the platinum-haired adult. Velve rose a hand, one of the servants throughout the room coming toward him after a moment. The younger man leaned down, letting the man speak into his ear lowly before the man in his late teens sauntered off, returning shortly by placing a mug on Aura's side of the table.
"Well then, Aura it is. An exotic name at that. You can simply refer to me as Velve, or if you'd rather chop it up Vel works just fine as well. Most use the former, I fear, though I have no personal preference. Would you care to have a drink? The honey mead here is fine, very low alcohol percentage and more of that sweet taste that I know and love. Erm. . .that is, if you're not on duty, of course." He let a weak smile come to his lips, obviously considering himself off the clock. It hadn't hit him yet, though his usual professional edge was obviously taken off by now due to how much he spoke. Usually his reactions would be far less wordy.
Velve poured some of the mead into Aura's mug regardless, the bottle beginning to get to its last drops. After filling Aura's, he topped his own off one more time. His eyes returned to Aura's own now, dark red meeting gray from behind those silver-framed spectacles. A smile tugged at the corners of his lips, his generosity getting the best of him.
