''Do you now?'' the smirk looked even meaner as they boy walked closer to Anise ''I'm going to advice you not to lie to your superiors. My rank allows me to have you flogged you know''

''Um...it doesn't'' Ion was quick to point out. Despite having an army the church was a religion of peace. Daath knew no capital punishment and the dungeon was pretty comfortable ''I fear you may scare her so please do not say such things'' 

''Oh I was only speaking in just fon master'' The boy's voice did in no way give that impression.

''You shouldn't worry Anise'' Ion stood up and walked next to his new bodyguard, patting her shoulder to assure her ''Sync can sound a bit harsh at times but he is very loyal'' Anise would quickly find out that Ion's opinion on one's trustworthiness counted for nothing. Ion trusted everyone and rarely spoke an ill comment even when one thoroughly deserved it. Sync was not to be trusted.
