eastofthemoonI got the idea for this drabble after seeing episode 2 of Slayers Revolution. My theory on what Zel gets out of being Amelia's body guard.
Title: The Real Payment
Character: Zelgadis, Amelia
Rating: G
Note: Reference to episode 2 of Slayers Revoultion.
“Thanks for agreeing to come with me Mr. Zelgadis,” said Amelia as she finished packing her clothes into her bag.
The chimera smirked from the small table while sipping his tea. “I kind of have to seeing as I’m your official body guard.”
Amelia blushed slightly, but returned to the task of double checking her list of supplies. “I still don’t understand why Daddy did that. I’m capable of taking care of myself.”
Zelgadis leaned back, frowning. “I’m sure he realizes that, Amelia, but I have a feeling your father is concerned with other issues.”
Amelia paused from folding her shirt. “Like that request from Ruvinagardo. It is rather odd that they want to see Miss Lina all of a sudden, but since it’s an official request from the King to the Seyrune, it’s hard to turn down.”
“Exactly,” Zelgaids replied with a nod. “This request is rather fishy. It’s most likely Phil appointed me as your body guard because something else is going on.”
The princess folded her arms. “But you were planning to come with me anyway since we’re going to see Miss Lina.”
Zelgadis took another sip of his tea. “True, but by making me your official bodyguard Wizer or Ruvinagardo for that matter can’t object to my coming along. They could easily refuse if I was just coming as a friend and that would make things quite inconvenient.”
“I see,” Amelia muttered as she tied her bag. “Well, I would rather have you along as my bodyguard then just one of the royal guards.”
Zelgadis smiled in a sinister manner that resembled Lina in her calculating mood. “And, being your official bodyguard does come with excellent benefits.”
Amelia titled her head, surprised. “Really? Is Daddy paying you a lot?”
“Oh, the money is a reasonable sum, but I’m more happy about the offer your father made as an added benefit.”
“Which was?”
“To pick up my tab.”
“Your tab?” The princess felt very confused. Did Zelgadis drink? He did take a glass of wine now and again, but would he have a big tab for that?
Zelgadis grinned evilly once again. “My coffee and tea tab.”
Amelia dropped her bag.
“Phil’s agreed to pay for all of my coffee and tea expenses while I’m your official bodyguard with no limits.” He stared dreamily out into the window. “There’s been some expensive blends I’ve been dying to try, but I didn’t have the funds to do so.”
Amelia suddenly thought that finding Lina wasn’t such a great idea. It was quite possible she was having a bad influence on Zelgadis.
