Really, he'd just been on the way to check up on his pods when something horrendous caught his eye. A beautiful blue tail... attached to a poor soul that isn't doing it justice!

Vincent hadn’t wanted to upset his son, but he was no fool to the fact that he wouldn’t always be around to protect him.  At the same time though, he had a feeling that danger was coming in the future and if he had his way then he would be the only one harmed.  

“I appreciate hearing you say that~”  It was nice to know that he wasn’t too bad of a parent since his child didn’t hate him.  “You’re pretty wise for your age~”  Still, as the Queen’s Watchdog, he wasn’t exactly in the most safest situations.  “Just know that I know that things would be alright in the family if anything were to happen.  We are a strong family after all.”

It was rare that he traveled to the outside realm, but today was a special occasion. He had wanted to visit a local festival and obtain some of the rare sake that was only brewed there. He was what one could call a connoisseur when it came to alcohol, so there was no way he was going to risk missing this.

That said, the festival was one that only youkai who lived in the outside realm were allowed to attend. Or rather, it was a place that only youkai could find. Still, he may as well enjoy the sights while he could. There were still a few hours until nightfall after all.

“It’s a beautiful afternoon, don’t you agree?” He asked a girl who was passing underneath the tree branch he was sitting on. “The wind blows from the north, bringing with it a tranquility that soothes the soul.” 

Once again, his clumsiness had struck, because of his tendency to space out randomly when he got a thought in his head, and he’d run right into someone. Or maybe they’d run into him. He actually wasn’t sure, because it was also entirely possible he had stopped in the middle of the hallway. He didn’t realize who it was at first that he’d bumped into though. He stammered an apology though just in case it was his fault. “A-Ahh.. I-I’m sorry.. I-I got lost in thought.. N-New idea.. I-I didn’t mean to r-run into you.. P-please forgive me..”

He pouts at the pinch to his cheek, a little ‘hmmph’ leaving him. He knew it was really bad form to be cussing in front of the Lady, but it had slipped out. He didn’t even usually swear. He didn’t want to make some kind of bad impression on her, but--

Truly, he was... curious.  Another demon out and about?  Not quite in the middle of nowhere, but far enough from mortal souls to be peculiar...  

And the source of the energies he felt?  None other than the cat in this child’s arms.  ...Is she aware?  Regardless, a child is a child.  ...Honestly, she’ll need affection more than ever, depending on how her demon is...  So the king kneels down to her level and smiles after placing his coat around her shoulders.
