Kuro hung from the tree, startling Sophie. Sophie flinched as she jump-twirled down from the tree. Grady looked toward Kuro, then to Sophie. "Sophie, this is your new elvin bodyguard." He told her, and Sophie nodded. Kuro bowed, leaning on one knee. "Kuro, at your service." She said, and Sophie gave her an akward smile. "So," Sophie started asking. "How come you are a bodyguard. I thought elvin minds were to delicate for you know ... killing." She uneasily said. Kuro smiled sadly. An act. She was proud that she was an no-queasness-killer. "Yes. Most elvin minds are. I'm still not exactly used to it. But I can deal with it." Kuro answered her, shurgging, getting off her feet. "I want you to know something Sophie." Kuro said her face stern. "I want you to treat me like a friend, not a bodyguard. You can trust me with your secrets." She said, smiling. "Also, the better I know you, the better I can protect you and your secrets." She finished, as Sophie nodded. "I actually wanted to ... be your friend too. I'll show you to my other friends." Sophie said, pointing to the house. Grady was smiling with relief. Sandor, Bo and Flori welcomed Kuro into the circle they were guarding her in.
