Something was bothering Kratos this morning. It was something that he had tried to put to the back of his mind ever since it had happened. For after all, it wasnapos;t really that much of a big deal. Not really, but it was still something he had to address whether he truly cared about it or not. Yesterday, Jacky had let slip the proper etiquette she should use as befitting her role at the castle and above all she had dared to use his name. It was one thing to let a little of her personality through but quite another to start addressing the captain of the knighthood by his name. To do so indicated she spoke to him on a personal level, and although Kratos certainly respected Jacky as a hard-working young girl, that was as far as things went for him. She wasnapos;t a friend, hardly even an acquaintance. He was her master, whom she served and should do little else in his presence.
And so Kratos had summoned the servant girl to his quarters this morning. He wouldnapos;t punish her too severely, but rather give her a warning. Make her back away a little before things got worse. It was partly his fault for giving her a little freedom in the first place. And because he shared the blame he couldnapos;t fairly give her any form of physical punishment. If a verbal warning didnapos;t do the trick, and he hoped it would, then things may have had to go a little differently. Until then, Kratos would let her go lightly as he so often did.
In reality this would be a warning to himself as well. A warning not to allow things to get out of hand between himself and the servants. Despite his distant nature, he was generally kind-hearted towards them, unlike the other nobles. Perhaps not outwardly but he did things in his own way. And for girls of Jackyapos;s age with hardly any hope in the world as it was, these often hidden friendly gestures could give off the wrong signals. Kratos hoped that Jacky wouldnapos;t dare to overstep the line that much but it was always a possibility. Especially if she did allow that side of her to show through.
No, Kratos couldnapos;t allow her to get any closer. It was dangerous for the both of them, even if he didnapos;t react to her in any way. Any hint of suspicious behaviour would not go unnoticed among the staff and the residents here. It may not have been uncommon for the nobles and servants to come together, but Kratos couldnapos;t have such rumours spreading across Meltokio, and he could not live and do his job well with such a shadow hanging over him.
Preparing himself for anything Jacky might do as she entered, Kratos waited. After yesterday he wouldnapos;t have been all that surprised if she continues to drop all formalities, especially when alone with him, and this was what he needed to put a stop to.
