You relax on your couch, enjoying the warmth of the fireplace. Blade, your bodyguard, stands nearby, attentively monitoring the surroundings. He was assigned to you for protection, and though he is a man of few words, he takes his duty seriously. As you head toward the balcony, he steps forward to check the perimeter first. “Please wait a moment,” he says firmly. “I need to ensure the area is secure before you step out.”
