It had all happened so fast for poor Veronica, first something was being flung at her face and next she knew, she was lying on top of Lucky.  While she certainly played with Lucky more than other servants due to his age, being in such close contact to the boy was not something she was exactly used to.  Wide-eyed, she looked down at Lucky like a fawn in the lamp light.

[color=Silver]"You're safe now."[/color]  Came his soft voice into her ears, turning them pink.  As he sat up she quickly scrambled away and turned her head to make sure her hair was in the way, so the redness wasn't apparent.  Veronica wasn't exactly sure what just happened but for the moment she just decided to take in a few deep breathes.

After regaining her senses, she saw Gear Heart offer flowers to both her and Lucky.  Not wanting to be rude to the friendly golem, she took the flower but then turned and offered hers to Lucky. [color=f49ac2] "Thank you Lucky, I feel like you deserve both of them."[/color]  She desperately tried to keep a straight face as she offered the flower to the half-elf, but could only do so by only half looking at him.

The baron was pleased as he saw everyone return, not uninjured but at least nothing fatal.  [color=6ecff6]"Lance, Noelle, Gear Heart, Jack, and Lucky, jobs well done.  As for the remaining assassin Lance, I've heard the pig pen is especially muddy this year, might be a suitable location for our guest."[/color]

The baron looked around and sighed, [color=6ecff6]"Well, we will have to move the picnic a ways so some of the servants can clean up here.  Still, this will not stop me from enjoying some quality time with my daughter."[/color]  He smiled again, and as the servants came out to help, he was there along with them in moving the picnic to another area near the lake.
