[Goddess, it’s so awkward knowing it’s already so much worse than Hendrik thinks. Who even knows what the demon on the throne is planning with all of this? He’s certain the thing’s just biding its time for something and ordering expeditions just to keep up appearances, but to what end?
Ahhh, that just reminds him it’s going to be more difficult to research things now to see if there’s any historical clues as to who this demon might be... Maybe when Celestine’s too young to care about content and just wants to hear a soft voice speaking to her, he can read his materials aloud to her. That’s something, perhaps, but...
...and, well, he still wants to assist his friend and the kingdom. For all his frustration at some things Hendrik has done and some ways he’s felt Hendrik has been favored over him by the people of Heliodor, he can’t even imagine losing him, and he knows he’d hate to see the kingdom suffer because their newest general was being overwhelmed by the encroaching darkness.]
Well, I know I do not have the station to do much on my own, but you do know you can ask me for assistance when you need it, do you not? Even if it is not in any official capacity, I am certain I can find some way to ease your burdens.
[...maybe he’ll even put in a recommendation with Sir Lazarite. Chief of staff isn’t exactly his dream position and the idea of working under Hendrik rather than beside him feels kind of humiliating, but hell, he’d take it at this point. He feels so useless as some rank and file knight who occasionally does the demon’s paperwork when he’s too busy... fuck if he knows. Doing demon things, he guesses.
...plus a salary boost wouldn’t hurt, all things considered... like he’s in perfectly fine financial shape to take care of a baby, but some discretionary income would be nice for the both of them.]
