[ Corvo hadn't always indulged Jessamine's shirking of royal duties. It started as politely declining leaving her father's for an escape from her lessons, to loud across the hall taunts about how one was all work and the other all play. Their relationship had their ups and downs, often with scoldings to the Empress-to-be and reprimands for the Royal Protector. They usually laughed it off in passing.
But with her father in yet another meeting discussing the relationships with the Isles, one Corvo was omitted from due to his homeland, it left him guarding Jessamine from any threats that may happen with Dunwall-native guards away... No, it left him guarding Jessamine from nothing. The morning was dragging on slowly, and sunlight was passing through the windows as if taunting him to come out and bathe in it.
No books they were surrounded with could quell the utter dullness of this day. Corvo was staring over the piles, likely filled with history he didn't much care for but she had to know. For what? He didn't know. Empress things.
So after an unbroken period of silence between them, Corvo cleared his throat and leaned against the door frame he'd been standing ever so vigilantly at. ] Unfortunately, I don't think anyone's coming to assassinate you today.
