[The changing of the Golden Guard happened every few years or so. One would be doing fine, then gradually disappear and fade only for a new Golden Guard to be sworn in. Leo had seen it happen a few times as castle staff and security, working on becoming part of the guard team himself under the emperor's coven. It was slow going though, something about him "not being ready" despite having been ready for four years now.

But the newest Golden Guard being sworn in is the youngest yet. Not that Leo can tell behind that mask, but he was shorter, lankier. His voice sounded a lot younger than the previous Golden Guards.

So maybe he'd do some snooping. If he found out a kid younger than him became a Golden Guard, he'll start fighting his superiors. Leo makes his way through the castle like he's on a mission, carrying a box of food to where he knows the previous Golden Guards always ate. He knocks on the door once.]

Delivery.

Exactly, you get it.

We'll do as much as we can on our own and present everything aaaaafter that.

[If at all. Leo doesn't have the strongest feelings about it.]

[ Oh yeah. Hunter will also change his tune later ... but for now he beams. ]

So what do we do next?

[neonleon]

Go back and have a snack?

[That's normal, right? Totally fine.]

[pyrighteous]

I -

[ THAT’S WEIRD, he would say, except. ]

I am kind of hungry.

[neonleon]

Then snack it is, lesgo.

[Absolutely NO hesitation walking them back.]

[pyrighteous]

[ He trots after, still a bit lost but … ]

Have you done this kind of thing before? You’re so relaxed.

[He leads Hunter along, keeping track of where they're coming from.]

Oh yeah, lots of times. I've got a whole system mapped out.
