Snippet #1529417

"Don't worry, your secrets safe with me. After all, as Jun Li has so pointed out, I'm supposed to be trying to impress him and if I rat you two out, I'm guessing that will decrease my chances my getting a promotion" Tyrone smiled, he didn't really need to impress Jun Li, as he didn't really feel like becoming a full-on guard just yet. He enjoyed the freedom that being a guards son and a trainee gave to him. The idea of having to stand in full amour trying to watch over Mei Li didn't appeal to him. Just yet. Maybe when he was older he would enjoy but not right now.

Suddenly he heard a faint noise coming from the door at the far end of the garden, to far for an average person to hear. He sniffed and smelt flesh and sweat and metal. He turned he head slightly ans saw the faint shadow under the door and the handle begin to turn slightly. "Someones coming, quick, hide!" he whispered furiously, already springing up a nearby tree and crouching in its branches as the door opened slightly, Tyrone recognized the face and the uniform of the guard. "It's my dad", he whispered to the princess, "and he looks in a bad mood".
