[Guard. It might seem like kind of a heavy word. Anchoring yourself down with duty. Resigning yourself to the task that must be done.
But Asriel... he knows the sorts of people who become guards - or try to, at least. Dogs with big, loving hearts and a zest for pets. Dragons and rabbits who would do anything for each other, whose partnership goes deeper than anyone could imagine. A fish who wants to protect everyone's hopes and dreams. A skeleton who wants to make people happy.
The Drifter... they're really a kind person, aren't they?]
I know you'll do a good job. Could... I guard you, then? Like buddy cops. You know, like they do in comic books! The protectors should be protected too, right?
