[Guardians are supposed to be dedicated to the protection of their Moroi. The phrase 'they come first' is engrained into every dhampir from the moment they become a novice throughout their graduation and promising. Guardians were expected to give up their lives if they must to ensure the Moroi they were assigned to survived. No matter what they wanted.

Rose had rebelled against it after she lost someone important to her, leaving to take on what most assumed was a personal vengeance, though it was in reality her keeping a promise. Okay, part of it had been selfish and the things she went through at that time... but she found her way back to Lissa and ended up saving her just as she was supposed to. Figured the last Dragomir and one of the few spirit users was such a prime target.]

Some Guardians don't take their position seriously, but we're supposed to be. Female Guardians are rare.

[And then Vastania reached for her, obviously happy, but Rose caught the other paladin's wrists before she made contact. Her eyes were focused right above the draenei's head.]

The hell is that above your head and if that's is how your people show you're all excited, you need to understand that I don't swing that way, no matter how flattering it is.
