The reference for this lovely boy was this gorgeous art by the fabulously talented Ilustrariane on Tumblr

Very tall, with slender legs, a heavy, curving body which blended from smoky grey to blood red like a charcoal drawing, the drider guard stood before you, the harsh lines of his chiselled torso shifting as he brought his right hand to his heart and bowed his respect to you. A curtain of mother-of-pearl-white hair fell forwards into his eyes as he moved, and he murmured, “I am at your service.”

The drider, one of the palace’s elite soldiers, had been assigned to you and since you had no formal meetings scheduled, you asked him to show you around, so he took you to the orangery because it was his favourite place in the whole royal palace, and he could only access it while accompanying a member of the royal family or one of their guests. 

“Pick me one?” you asked playfully, eyeing a ripe fruit that hung way out of your reach and grinning as he used the height of his slender legs, and the sharpness of his long, lethal talons to pluck it down and hand it to you as if it were a jewel. 

“Thank you,” you smiled, looking around the fragrant space at the glimmering glass panes and filigree white ironwork, “And I can see why you like it here so much,” you added.
