“Wait no I have not been asked by them to do anything.”
“Oh really then do you want me to put you under a truth spell and say that again?”
“Ahh, um.”
“That is what I thought. I know how politics work at the very least don’t try to pretend you don’t get ordered around by the other leaders too. Afterall you listen or refuse half of my orders since you're my property.”
“I accepted your clothing and enchantments.”
“And you refused my envoy and shapechange. Now run along, I have more orders to finish.”
Pausing for a moment as William tries to think of a follow up only to draw a blank at the total shutdown. Getting up with his food and walking away trying to think what went wrong and only to conclude that Prisma must have damaged the High Ring a bit harder than he thought. With a sigh William reaches his room, eats his warm meal, before heading to bed ready to finally see what Alice is up to in the morning.
“Fuck! Shit.” Yells out William as he remembers something he forgot.
Pushing himself off the bed as he gets on the ground and remakes a familiar circle as he summons his flying cat back. With it giving a stare at William before jumping onto the bed and taking the pillow for itself. With a groan William lets the cat steal his pillow as he sleeps on the edge of the bed instead letting the cat take most of the bed for tonight. The sun bathes the floor in golden rays forcing William to turn away from the light only to suddenly feel weightlessness and a hard impact. Waking up from the floor William gets back up and dusts himself off as he gets ready for the day. Putting on his gloves and armor before activating the disguise self to hide his uniform from public view. Passing by a quiet dining room as maids clean up the mansion after being absent from the night before heading out into the city. Texting Alice he is now available before getting a thumbs up and a meeting location near a train hub south of Astra. Slinking from alleyway to alleyway dodging a few sudden mage patrols in the sky as William makes his way to a train hub taking a seat as he waits a few minutes for Alice as footsteps approach him. Seeing Alice with a nervous expression as she grips a large white hat like her life depended on it with a small strap also holding the hat on her head. With not a hint of her halo thing seen as she makes eye contact with William.
“Hey Will, thanks for coming out to help me today.” States Alice as she nervously looks around the area.
“It's the least I could do since I couldn’t come sooner. So what is the request thing?”
“Oh just a lookout while I get more food and materials.” States Alice as she motions for William to follow her.
