The Rider didn't not even flinch at the book bopping his head, merely looking back in mild annoyance at his master's action before letting out a small sigh. Sometimes he wondered if his master realized just what she had actually summoned, at least when it came to the nature of servants. Some servant with far less of a civilized 'mindset' than his might have cleaved her head clean off for such an imperious attitude in this moment! Argh...but Pheasant did have a point, she was merely a youthful girl and he a heroic spirit who had long lived a life only to return in a youthful state. Not that he hadn't been sober in his youth anyways...

The blue-haired male servant ever so slightly shook his head side to side, taking himself out a train of thought before following along behind his master. He could not blame her, however, for wanting to live up to her family's legacy. She was performing her work and studies admirably, and such filial piety shown in the pursuit of her family's legacy at this time in her life was respectable. It was one reason he'd answered her summons, after all...though he felt it would be uncouth to become a mere 'yes man', as modern humans termed it. 

[color=FFA07A]"To care for the mind, one must also care for the body. Nourishment, exercise, fresh air, all of it factors into an overall well-being a growing and functional human being needs, Master,"[/color] he said, calmly speaking as he walked up by her side to keep pace, looking forward beyond them towards the direction of the park, [color=FFA07A]"I will confess my worries got the best of me back there, however, to the end of dragging you out here as I have. My apologies."[/color]

The male servant took a gentle, deep breath of the fresh air. Ah. It was not the same as home, when he had been alive so long ago, but it was closer to it than some other places at least.
