Daphne headed out after handing the key over, polite naturally though firm about the fact that it worked a certain way, it had an order about it and much as the Prince was well within his right to bend it, breaking it would just cause more headaches. After he was done the guard needed the key, otherwise the cell would be useless, they had a spare sure but having two keys running about the town in two hands?

That was asking for trouble and risks no one needed to run. One key, one guard, one person. It just made a simple sense. 

As she was taught, authority was important but basix routine, structures and ways of working could be required. It was not too much to ask someone to return a key, make sure a door was locked or knock 3 times and confirm through the small window before the door was opened like at a previous time she worked guard duty to the criminal population. 

[color=f49ac2]“Of Course”[/color] She said and escorted the Princess out as cold air hot her face but also finally felt a surge as magic returned to her body, the speed and the clumsiness Vanished as her body began to react normally again. [color=f49ac2]“Thank the goddess, I hate that feeling. Sorry, even experience never helps totally.”[/color] She could not help but say to herself and apologised to the young woman who was above her in the stations of life. 

Daphne felt far more steady, less like she was impaired by a slow fog that affected her a small amount in every movement. She had grown so used to her abilities that their removal and her loss of them was unsettling. The guards' expression and nature grew a little more confident and less awkward outside of the magical suppression. 

But now…what did she do as she seemed to have been elected the Princess guard until someone took over or Prince returned? Though she kept a close eye, the rush of magic could be intense as could its deprivation. [color=f49ac2]“It helps Princess… it's not your noble fair…but it genuinely helps, it just seems to work.”[/color] 

Daphne reached into a pouch and offered her some venison jerky, and took some to eat to prove she had not poisoned it. 

Maybe it was a title risky but she did not need the Princess deciding to faint or fall ill on her watch, she had enough issues with a whole potential Royal show down going in in the cell block. Her mind ran to plans and ideas… she could take her to the Inn, it was hot and served a meal but then she caused a whole search? The wind and snow had backed off but it was hardly warm! Dawn Haven's darkness and the eternal winter had caused the climate to be lethally unforgiving. 

A Squire, Sure had passed training about 3 times over in various gusises, been trained in various combat and other skills. However, the change and coming darkness had forced the guard to be deployed more and more, her more court education had been delayed and she and her master had been more and more deployed to active duty, security, guarding food and markets. So many other tasks that had caused much trouble as they faced dangers and challenges on every front. 

The amount of threats they faced only added and the people grew more desperate.. day by day, that the Prince had according to some in Lunaris dawdled and delayed as they suffered to the advantage of the Sun king sussing his rivals to weaken under the pressure of a 1000 minor battles. 

But the gods…they did not worry about such mortal problems and challenges. The goddess she was rather devout too but knew the kindness was not something the moon goddess was known for, do not expect miracles. 

She looked about casting her eye out, to the threats, people and things moving about the area. Nothing dangerous she catalogued as she turned back to face the smaller royal woman, bundled in her far more expensive furs and clothes. 

[color=f49ac2]“Princess, I admit, I'm less trained in this, so, il ask.  What do you want? I can escort you to the Inn, for a more comforting hot meal, wait here for the interrogation to end, any other thing within safe reason.”[/color] Daphne said and waited, she was plain but just decided to ask, what did she want, and what did she need? Market, bath, a favorite shop, Walk, anything else. Daphne would try to make them as safe as possible and still let the Princess do her own life and whatever a Princess did.

Daphne had to work from a place of very little, so let that person help you fill in the blanks.
