Dyandin became quite aware that his teammates have noticed him distraught. Dyandin never had comrades to speak of. He always thought of teammates only as a means to an end. Only used to advance onto a goal, but here he was, beating himself up for being inept and eating dinner with his so called "means-to-an-end", even if he was at a different table, it felt different that anything he has believed before. Dyandin glanced at Rin. He was about to follow her out, but decided against it, as he knew she needed time to herself. He wasn't helping his current situation. He had nothing to say to his own failures.
It came to quite a surprise that Aria of all people would know of how he was feeling. It exceeded the meter of shock to find her comforting him. "It's awfully unbefitting for a King to hang his head so low." Aria stated, with an unusual touch of emotion to her familiar monotone speech style. Dyandin stayed silent. Any remark now would make it apparent to everyone what he was feeling. It wasn't until Aria's full speech that Dyandin felt motivated to do anything. "Don't blame yourself Dyandin. No matter how powerful a king may be, he alone cannot defeat an army." Dyandin looking down at the small girl as she placed her hand on his elevated shoulder. Dyandin smirking a bit in amusement. "That's why he has his own."
This sentence struck him. Just now he was thinking about how he should treat his teammates. He always thought of himself as a king, he was to sit back and relax on his throne. No need to sully his hands of he has someone to do his job for him. Dyandin was at a loss of knowing the the term of a team. He still needed an answer. Who would've expected to have gotten everything he searched for from one timid girl?
"So do us a favor your highness, and try not to run off without your army next time. Alright?" Slight trace of emotion in her voice, clearly a change from the norm, but that wasn't important. He got his answer, even if it took time to decipher. He was a king. The first to enter a battle and the last to leave. He was to stay close to his allies and protect them. "As you wish. Miss Aria. Next time I'll make sure to bring my subordinates. Though, Mark my words! I'll be everyone's shield. It's a king's job to protect his people!
