Tearia's father comes home from work and asks his son how he's doing. He tells his son that he heard that Alisandre fainted. He also tells him that he can pursue him in two months, when he turns 18. Tearia asks his father if he can bring him with him to visit his father's highness the next day. His father says that's the right thing to do, and that he'll come sit down and talk with his son. He wants to know how his son feels about being his "highness" guard for the last few months. He says that he values freedom and wants to protect his father. He doesn't know if he needs a bodyguard at all, but he wants to earn a living and prove his worth. He's worried that some people will think that he did something illegal when his father fainted, but his father tells him not to worry, because he already has his own worth.
