"Sweet dreams, Asteria. May the heavens protect you." Jeremy proclaimed as he watched over her. Once she fell asleep he waited just a bit longer. There was this uneasiness within him.
It was like, if he didn't keep a keen eye on her she would disappear or break. 
If such a thing were to ever happen, he was sure that the end of the world would begin.
Just as he was about to leave, the doors to her chambers opened more. (The two had previously left it somewhat open) their fluffy blonde-platinum-like hair was more than enough to tell who it was. "Oh, Jeremy, is she sleeping?" He whispered to which Jeremy nodded. 
Leon then motioned for him to come out. Once they were, Leon took one last look at Asteria before quietly and slowly closing her door. "Thanks for putting her to bed. There's a lot that has been on her mind lately so I really do appreciate this." Leon explained. 
Jeremy on the other hand was still comprehending everything that Leon had just said. He was still trying to get used to this even weirder version of Leon that was much nicer to him now. 
"Yeah...no problem." He answered. However, he stayed on alert not once leaving his guard down. "So, what do you want from me??" Jeremy asked hesitantly. 
Leon glanced at him before leaning back onto the doors to Asteria's chambers. 
"As of right now, nothing much. But in the future I have a huge favor I would like to ask of you. However, it's up to you whether or not you want to believe in it." Leon said. 
The tension in the air was as clear as day. 
Jeremy knew that the Leon he was talking to right now was the one that was not to be messed with. "I'll hear you out but is out here even a good place to hold it?" Jeremy questioned. 
Leon knew what he was trying to say but it didn't matter. "It's fine, during this time it is when most are heading to their quarters so there won't be anyone here. Even if they were with your animalistic senses and my radar, they won't be able to get by." Leon deciphered. 
He got off from the doors and stood up properly. "Now then, from here on out not a single word will ever be spoken of." The way he worded that sentence was almost deceiving...
If someone didn't understand it in the right way, it could've totally been misinterpreted.

Asteria woke up rather late, it was almost noon when she came to. Quickly washing up and picking the possible outfits that were placed for her to wear today she headed out. Completely forgetting some of the things that had previously happened. 
Running in the halls, searching for just one person she was close to. All the maids and butlers were so busy with the house that they didn't bother her, only to greet and bow to her.
However, she had a weird sensation that someone was watching her every movement. There was no malicious intent but she was curious to know. Therefore, she stopped running and turned around while keeping her guard up. "Who's there?" she asked politely.
There weren't many places to hide. There was only the hallways, window, and possible magic. Just then one of the palace windows was forced open by the wind causing Asteria to shut her eyes and block the wind. 
Then appeared Jade with the cubs. 
"I'm sorry milady, please pardon my rudeness. But I wasn't sure whether or not I should've been looking after you from afar or close by. If I have done anything wrong please punish me." Jade explained. Asteria was stunned. She didn't think that her thoughts would be on the spot.
