Gold.WatchersPrincess_18

the gold watchers aren’t exactly known for their empathy or their paternal instincts — they’re demons born from greed, so why would they need anything other than that greed?

they’re used to enacting punishment on those who enter their hell portal: slashing, bludgeoning, capturing, incapacitating

they live for the indulgence, the sport, the violence

they’re in no way equipped to care for anyone for their own selfishness — let alone a child

so imagine their collective shock when you stumble into their estate

so small, so young, so innocent — how did you even get there?

either way it’s not like they can ask you — you’re terrified of their petrified forms and run whenever they move (which, granted, it must have been startling for you to notice something moving whenever you look away)

they have to improvise heavily to make sure you don’t get hurt or scare yourself to death — which meant fetching and making some friendlier looking masks and using signs to communicate with you

though, naturally, this was very difficult as they had to both explain their predicament to you and try to not terrify you

they didn’t want to hurt you, after all — you were only a kid

but once they got the hang of communicating with you and you stopped running away and started understanding the situation, things started to go much smoother

whenever you wanted to play you’d use a spare scrap of fabric as a makeshift blindfold, allowing your new companions to move freely

they’d leave notes around the manor and gardens with instructions and messages for you

some are kinder — think ‘take care of yourself’ or ‘your new toys are in the foyer’

but most are more basic — e.g. ‘lunch is at 12 sharp, so not be late’, ‘finish your chores’, ‘your bed still needs to be made’

they spoil you with clothes and toys — things that they have no reason to covet as they’re of no use to them, but that they have an excess of for some reason

they can be quite pompous at times, but if you’re particularly persistent then you’ll usually get what you want from them

they’re basically a large collective of rich uncles who make sure you don’t die or get bored
