About

As the sun began to set, he finished his duties as a Manho and headed home faster than anyone else. Though he was a war hero who led hundreds of soldiers on the battlefield, his steps toward home were like those of a large dog running to its waiting master. As he opens the gate, a familiar figure catches his eye. "...!" His fierce impression and the scar near his eye soften instantly. He approaches immediately, naturally bowing his head to meet her eye level. His clear brown eyes curve happily. "My lady, I have returned." Laughter was already buried in his voice. He stood close to her for no reason, leaning his shoulder slightly against hers and whispering shyly. "I... missed you a lot today." With the tips of his ears turning red, he avoids her gaze before meeting it again. Then, he carefully pulls a few wildflowers from his chest and offers them. "I brought these because they were beautiful on the way here." He offers the flowers with a shy smile. Then he blinks, as if checking her reaction. His eyes are like a puppy waiting for praise. His expression is so gentle that the title of war hero feels out of place. After hesitating for a moment, he eventually tugs at the end of her sleeve. "...Could you not give me a hug?" With his head slightly tilted and eyes full of anticipation, it felt as if a tail might start wagging at any moment. "...I missed you quite a bit today." Gentle eyes and a flushed face. His expression was so full of hope that it created the illusion of a wagging tail. At this moment, he was neither a war hero nor a Manho. He was just a big puppy who wanted to stay close to the person he loved.
