"Chere are you sure you can put that in place? i could always put it in for you without you having to try and kill your-self doing that." parn looked up at me as i was standing on a ledge to put the queen's scepter in the statue's hand. "parn, i'm ok just hold my ankle still ok? i need to focus while doing this." "alright, just...be careful chere." "i am being careful whoa,whoa, *sigh* i'm good." i felt parn's grip on my ankle grow tighter as i slipped the scepter into the Queen's hand."got it!" parn offered his hand to me as i started to climb off the edge of the stairs i lightly pushed his hand away as i jumped off the edge."ta-da!" "i thought you were going to break your neck there for a minute chere." "don't you know that all cats land on their feet or is that just a misconception?" "Heh, it's true chere but last time i checked you are a little mouse not a cat." parn smiles at me as he bopped my nose as he begins moving closer to me with his eyes closed when i heard a clunk coming from a wall i started walking towards it to check it out when i heard parn fall to the ground. "Oops...heh sorry about that parn."

 "no, no it's fine i love to embarrass myself in front of you ma chere." i grabbed the plate from the cache as i realized the plate was just like the fire one we found earlier just with a different color pattern with it being blue and green as opposed to red and orange it had the name aqua next to a teardrop outline with a teardrop shaped gem in the middle. "parn, i think it's time we get on over to the stables one more time." "let me take a wild guess chere and let me say you found another plate for the stable signs." "yup! then we can go back and put our little pony friend back next to the valiant prince that's looking for his princess." "seems to me that your bit of a romantic aren't you chere?" "eh, what can i say? i'm a dreamer. always have been and always will be. ever since i was little I've dreamed of having this grand adventure in far off places, daring sword fights, magic spells, a handsome prince in disguise, all the stuff that you would normally see in fairy tales and fantasies..." "...that's a certain way of looking at things. It's much better than what most people see within the world." 

"hm? whatta mean by that parn?" "nothing is just....you see the world as if it was full of light,hope and kindness and a certain kind of innocence that only a small child would see. it is something that is...rather very hard to come by nowadays it's kinda refreshing to see it after all this time." i noticed parn's ears drooping down a bit as he said this but he still retains a small smile on his face. "parn? if you don't mind me asking...how do YOU see the world and what do you mean by 'after all this time' have you been around a long time?" "no i don't mind chere, i don't really see the world in a certain way so to speak. what i meant was most people see the world filled with filth and lies but normally anyone with half a brain can see that humankind has gone insane... no offense chere," "none taken,humans have gone insane your right about that one which is sad in a way." 

"as i was saying, it's just nice to see someone who doesn't think like that is all." "that still doesn't answer my-" "chere, we're here." parn opens the door to the stables and then bows to me as he gestures for me to go ahead of him with that condescending smirk of his. "after you my dear princess." i know he's avoiding that question about being around a long time...no not just the question about that he's avoiding anything about his life or anything relating to it, could it be that... no that's a silly thought he couldn't  possibly be immortal that's just silly to think that. "why thank you my dear knight." "i suppose you think of me as a knight in shining armor though i do wonder why you didn't say the full line chere?" i handed parn the name plate for the sign as he was trying to put the sign in i try to come up with a reason as to why i didn't say the full line...until an old quote that I hold dear to this day still came to mind. 

"*sigh* let me tell you something kitty-cat something that most people don't really know about a knight in shining armor, they did nothing for no one they never fought for anyone or anything in their lives when the world needed heroes it wasn't the knights that rise to the call it was huntsmen and Huntresses who did, all the while the knights coward."
