-Guardian's Duty-
(Margalo)
Opening the door, Bate blinked in surprise when he found himself face to face with one of his students Guardians. He wasn’t informed by Atka that any were going to visit, so seeing her out of the blue isquite pleasant.
“Oh, Margalo. Hello, I was not aware Meta called for you. Please, come in.”
The small bird happily entered, greeting Bate as she walked in. “He did not call for me, but I thought I would surprise him! It’s been so long since I last saw my Master, I do not know how you and Lady Atka are able to be apart for so long.”
“I suppose you could say Atka and I are a bit different.” He lightly chuckled. “But it’s always nice to have you visit. Please, make yourself at home. ”
“Thank you, Lord Bate.” Margalo smiled in response, and took a quick glance around his home before slightly tiling her head. “Though I sense my Master isn’t here. Did he go out?"
“A little while ago, yes. In fact, the timing of your arrival is perfect. You see, one of his friends from South Nova has come to spend the winter holiday with us. I’m sure the two of you will enjoy getting to know one another. I believe Meta told you about her plenty of times in the past.”
“You must be talking about Miss Kesuk. Yes, yes! My Master has mentioned her often.” She nodded in excitement. “This will be quite a treat, I can finally know more about his special someone. If she’s anything like what Sir Meta Knight described, then I’m sure she’ll be a perfect match for my Master.”
The elder couldn’t help but softly laugh at her response. He reached over and gave a small pat on her head to settle her down. “She’s just his friend for now, Margalo. I don’t think it would be wise to push it any further.”
“Lord Bate, is it not our duty to make our master happy? If she is someone special to him, then I must-"
“Not interfere, and leave them be.” Bate cut in. He lowered himself to her level, and gave a faint smile. “I know how important your duties are as his Guardian, and I know you'll do everything in your power for the sake of his happiness, but there are some things you need to let him figure out on his own. Being bonded with your other half is knowing when to trust one another. These are one of the few times where you have to step back and leave it to him.
