Welcome to Gaia! ::

Orcus didn't take his attention from his surroundings but did give a quick look at Queen Moonbeam. "I already explained. It's not if they're out to get you, it's when they're coming. Anything can happen at any moment and I have to protect you from it all. That's why I'm so protective." He spoke softly but clearly. "Do you have any other plans for today? Just so that I can prepare before hand."

Orcus bowed his body and gave the queen a smile. Once she closed the door he placed his hand on it and a barrier of light went over it that left a thin string on his finger which he connected to his temple. The string stretched as he went down the stairs and to the kitchen, picking himself up a pear and chowing down on it. He finished and tossed it out. It would eventually decompose so he didn't feel bad about it.

With a quick sprint he jumped up on the walls of the dining hall and prepped the windows with five pressure sensors running horizontally and parallel and a light berrier which would act like thin glass, alerting anyone in the area ahould someone attempt to break in. After finishing with the windows he headed to his room for a quick rest. The string connected to his temple would wake him up should anyone open the door but since it was energy, it was invisible and so was the barrier.

Orcus got up quickly as a high shriek awoke him and his head ached. He pulled the string, severing the connection and the headache. He put on his helmet and threw his armour over his robes, running upstairs to where he heard the queens foot steps. He reached the top and looked around, making sure no one was around. He stepped besides her to check the tower's perimeter and stood there quietly.

Orcus placed his hands near the queen, just incase she did start to go over the wall. He calmed as she returned to normal. "Let's just say you woke me." Orcus smiled. "What are you doing up here?" He was being nurturing so that she would forget about him being up here. "It's a cold night and you should rest up. Everything will still be here tomorrow." He spoke reassuring her so that she might return to her room.

Orcus stood at his post in a defensive stance. "You know I can't leave you alone unless your under some sort of protection." He was stiff as a board while he spoke. "The best we can do is pretend I wasn't here." He was being sort of strict for a guard talking to his queen but it was all with good reason.

Orcus thought that the reaction was too sudden to be something he said but he asked because he was concerned. "Is this the point at which we pretend I'm not here?" He didn't quite know what to say so he counter balanced his last goofy remark with a more sensible, "Are you in some sort of emotional distress, my queen?" He looked on as she cried. "I'm here form emotional support too." He then, partly whispered, partly muttered, "I guess..."

"That's not what I meant, my queen. I just didn't want to go so far as to say that you could trust me because you might have taken it as disrespectful." He rubbed the back of his head, the helmet got in the way but he did it anyway. He then turned his back and kept watch over the area with a sad glare. The actual reason for his lack of sympathy was because he couldn't get too close to anyone under his protection as a guard. That would create problems for both parties and he always kept it in mind while taking his arm and throwing on his armour.
