Thread: The Emporer and the Gaurdian (Shyone x Moon Struck Fox)

Ming Yue smiled as he nuzzled her, and she resisted the furious urge to bend down and press her lips to his forehead. but that was forbidden until he had Chosen. then, only the Chosen would touch him with her bare skin. they would tolerate Human's touching their Protected, but only people they knew, if a stranger tried, the Guardian usually reacted very badly. they where very protective. they where actually finding his not paying more attention to them, interesting. normally, a Royal picked a Color, and focused more on those colors, with Ryou it was... he paid attention to all of them, as if color didn't matter. out of all the Dragon's, only the Russian Blue, a girl named Itheril, came close to beating him, and the game lasted the longest with her, his fingers gently stroking his arm and wrist as she settled close to him, pondering her moves with pure clear eyes that shone with glee at the challenge. Ming Yue was the last to take her chance at the game, and she settled behind him, wrapping her arms around him as if she was holding a Child, resting her chin on his shoulder as she studied the new game... and won. Ming Yue made sure that as much of her was touching him at all times, offering him the comfort he seamed to crave, her hands running through his hair while he focused on his moves, and with a masterful decision, she took his queen, and then not three moves later, she had his king. it hadn't been easy, but she had beaten him, and she looked pleased as she gently massaged his scalp and stroked his arms, but didn't nuzzle, or kiss or lick as she so very much wanted to. she smiled as she straightened up and went to get the food, the other girls giggling as they asked him if he was enjoying himself, asking him if he wanted to play something else, or if he just enjoyed trouncing them all into the dirt? this was said with affection and amusement, clearly the women where very impressed with how intelligent he was. they eagerly offered him food as Ming Yue braught it back, and they took turns feeding him rare delicacies, giggling happily as Ming Yue chuckled and made sure his Tea cup was always full, and that the other girls didn't try to choke him on the food. then, it was Ming Yue who decided it was late enough, and that it would do them all good to get some sleep. so they all left, and Ming Yue stayed to turn down the bedding, and ask him if he needed help getting changed into his pajamas? it was a strange human thing, but some of the Human's who came to pick their Gaurdian, couldn't even get dressed on their own they where so pampered. she soon had him tucked in with a small bell within reaching distance, promising him that if he rang that bell, she would hear it, and come get him anything he wanted in the night. and with that done, she brushed his hair away from his face, kissed her fingertips and pressed it to his forehead. goodnight, Little Prince. sleep well. she whispered, smiling at him as she settled into a chair beside him, and sang him a soothing song to help him sleep. and only once she was certain he was sleeping deeply, did she leave the room, and leave him to his dreams. in the morning, Ryou was woken by one of the Elder Dragons, who again asked if he needed help changing into his Day clothes, and was led down to breakfast where he was met with his Adviser, and the Speaker, who represented every Clan, chosen and everyone else. Good Morning Little Prince. the woman stated, smiling at him, the same one as before. the Women are eagerly awaiting your Choice. please, sit and enjoy your breakfast, and decide who would be best to Serve you. the woman stated calmly, smiling at him. and please... know that you will always be Welcome in Dragons Keep. she promised him gently before leaving, letting Ryou think about who he wanted to choose. he had until Noon to know for sure, because at Noon the ladies would Gather in the Great Hall, and wait eagerly for him to choose one of them. they where already waiting in their rooms, fussing as they tried to make themselves look as perfect as possible, all of them but Ming Yue, who was feeling... disturbed... almost... Jealous... she had a great deal of affection for the Little Prince... she liked the way he smelled, she liked the way he never said a word, but could communicate so much with her. she liked how strong, and smart he was, and loved how much he loved her running her hands through his hair, and how he would nuzzle her back, as if he was a giant puppy or a kitten. and she knew he was aware of her uniqueness, as the Speaker told him during his breakfast that Ming Yue was Multi gendered, and that Tabitha, a yellow, weas severely allergic to chocolate. letting him know, because it was wrong not to. and so, the time was up, and the women gathered in the Hall, beaming as they waited for the Little Prince to make his Choice.
