Knight kept a heavy guard when it came to the princess; especially since they came back from the Tropical Islands, which only brought the duo.. danger. Which, of course, Princess only found true seeking of adventuring out of. It was a rough ride for the both of them, well.. it was for Knight.

That didn't matter now. At long as the Princess was alright, Knight was alright too. He wouldn't let anyone or anything trick him into keeping his guard down for the Princess, which was the only cookie that mattered to him; which he dearly loved.

As the two were walking, there was a sudden rustle in the bushes near them; the bushes in the Hollyberrian Jungle which was heavy of trees.
A strange; blonde hair cookie.. covered in dirt, who collapsed and landed face first onto the soft soil of the Hollyberrian land. "Ugh.."
Princess looked behind her to notice to the strange cookie which whom faceplanted onto the ground next to them.
Her eyes widened a bit. "Oh?" She said, putting her hand on her chest.
Knight quickly looked behind him to see what caused Princess's reaction.
He slowly pulled out his sword, walking slowly to the dirty cookie.
"Who are you? Are you here to cause harm? To the Princess?" The cookie looked up to the knight above him, giving quick eye contact before his head tiredly hit the ground.

"Mmm.." The cookie mumbled as he lifted his head once more, but gave no reply to the other's questions. Just moaning and groaning in what seemed like in pain.
"..Hm! We should take care of him, till he gets better, Knight Cookie!"
Knight quickly argued back, "But, what if he is here to cause harm to y-"
Princess covered Knight's mouth. "He won't! He won't! Stop worrying about me so much, dear!"
Knight sighed and looked over at the cookie, who was now apparently leaning against a rock. He walked over, still having his guard up for whatever this cookie could possibly do.
"What's your name, sir?"

"A-Adventurer." A booming smile came from him.
"Alright, Adventurer, I have been given orders from the one and only Princess to take care- erm, well at least help you walk."
The Other spoke. "First of all, stranger danger. Second of all, I don't think I'll be able to walk." He pointed to which seemed to be a sprained, possibly broken, leg. It would definitely take some weeks to heal back up with even medical care.
Knight sighed. Repeating and mumbling to himself. "Orders from the Princess.. orders from the Princess." Knight gently, gently as he could, picked the other up and threw him over his shoulder. Adventurer grunted in pain, Knight quickly looked over to make sure he was alright and if he accidentally broke of the other cookie's leg, somehow. Luckily, no harm was done.
A sudden burst of a voice came - "Come on you two! We still have to go to reclaim my royalty to the throne to the wonderful Hollyberry Kingdom!" She smiled, waiting for Knight to slowly walk back to the spot on where they stopped, and giggled at Knight holding Adventurer.
"Well, let's go then!"
"Waitt- my backpackk." Adventurer pointed over to the rock he was laying on earlier. Knight sighed, grabbing the brown, huge backpack and putting it on his own back, holding the other's waist with one arm for support, and the other holding onto the backpack strap so it wouldn't fall of his back, which looked out of place for someone who was wearing a full suit of chocolate armor and probably had no need for a backpack like this.
"Alrighty! Now let's go!" Knight nodded to Princess, while Adventurer just stayed quiet.

A couple of minutes later, Princess and Adventurer were chatting the day away. Adventurer talking about his adventures, to get the Naga heart, (which whom he failed to get) while Princess bursted out on how much she was craving going on such adventures as those, while Knight had to carry the blonde and listen to the two rant about exploring, finding treasures, and discovering new possible raw areas of land. Knight groaned, which the other two took no notice whatsoever, and kept talking their mouths off.
Though, the conversation did remind him of how he went off exploring dragons valley, which whom he was brave enough to adventure into, and how he met.. met..
That's off topic! He just needed to focus on the Princess, and just listening to her, he had such no need for other thoughts such as those.

"Here! Let's rest!" Princess suddenly spoke. "Over there!" She pointed to a log, which all three could rest and somewhat relax on. Knight Cookie nodded, still keeping a tight grip on this other on his shoulder; walking over to the log.
As Princess sat down, so did Knight. He sat Adventurer down next to him, putting his leg on the log. Princess looked over to Adventurer in pure concern. "Do you think you'll be alright?" Adventurer smirked. "Trust me dear, this has happened many times before, I'll be fine, it's probably just sprained, that's all. Nothing to much!"
"Alrighty!" Princess smiled at Adventurer, which Adventurer smiled right back. Knight groaned, was he trying to get close to Princess to trick her?

Knight yelled at himself in his mind. He couldn't believe he was so overprotective over one, simple person. So overprotective to the point he didn't know he was doing it because that is simply is his job to do so, but actually grew a bond with Princess that made him think.. otherwise.
"Hey Dude! Do you mind handing me my backpack?" Knight perked up from his thoughts, pulling the backpack off his back and handing it over to Adventurer. Adventurer pulled out some bandages, positioning himself.
Knight watched Princess as she got up from the log and started picking flowers until he heard a grunt from behind him.
"If ONLY Blackberry was here.. she would be able to do and figure this out!" Adventurer groaned as he put the bandages down. Knight sighed as he grabbed the bandages as soon as he put them down.
"Stay still." Knight gently grabbed Adventurer's leg, wrapping his leg up, and laid Adventurer's leg on the log. Adventurer looked over at Knight, and smiled widely and somewhat stupidly. "Thanks dude!" Knight looked away, sighing. "Your Welcome." As he continued to watch the Princess, Adventurer pulled out something out his backpack.

"Here!" He handed a small candy over to the other, still having that same usual smile on his face.
