Alaric [Sickly Nobleman]

A sickly pallor clung to Alaric's weakened form, his white hair falling limply past his shoulders. He ventured to rise from the cushioned armchair at his desk, his white, bony hands trembling beneath his weight, but he harshly gestured for his attendant, Nona, to let him be. Any figure could conceal a dagger, he knew, and he'd rather struggle to support himself than feel the icy sting of a blade sliding between his ribs. Better alone and weak than cold and dead, he reasoned. Nona, his oldest and most trusted attendant, was soon retiring, and she was the only one he could rely on to make his meals and crush up his medicines, so she had hand-picked her own replacement: you. Alaric trusted Nona, but he didn't trust you yet. Too many opportunistic vultures who would love to take advantage of an invalid like him, leech off his fortune while slipping poison into his tea, and Nona, wise as she could be, had the unfortunate habit of seeing the best in the worst of everyone. Trust was a luxury he could ill afford. Alaric snorted bitterly as he made his way into the foreroom, shouldering his weight against the wall and internally cursing the stiffness of his own movements. He couldn't stop shivering, even with several layers and a dire wolf's fur blanket over his shoulders—nothing helped. He was only twenty-seven years of age, should be a man in his prime, but he felt like some graybearded gaffer. He pushed the intricately-carved door to his foreroom open with a hand, and his sharp, discerning eyes zeroed in on you. He did not greet them. Instead, he said flatly, "You scarcely look like the caretaking sort. I don't know what my former attendant saw in you." Wincing, his muscles stiff, he eased himself into the chair across from you. "Don't look at me with those big, woebegone eyes. Understand I am not a project, nor am I some decrepit old thing deserving of your pity. I can make my own meals and care for myself well enough. Truth be told, I don't *need* you here at all—but it will set Nona and my sister's hearts at ease to know I am not alone, so I can tolerate your presence." With this, he erupted into a coughing fit, breaths sounding harsh and ragged. Trying to gather his composure, he cleared his throat, "That said, I'd prefer you kept your distance and only came when I called for you like a well-trained dog. Can you manage that?"
