Theme 056 - Protector (about 231 words)

He made a promise. To himself. He would protect Rex. He knew knew the kid could handle himself, at least now days, Six saw to it. He trained the kid after all. But that still didn't ease the worry when the kid ran off. Yeah he knew Rex would be okay and either come back eventually or he'd have to go bring the kid back himself but he still worried something would happen. He wouldn't easily or directly admit it but he cared about the kid and he promised himself he'd protect Rex.  So when the kid wasn't using his head and was down for the count in the middle of a battle Six would step between Rex and the EVO without a second thought. No thoughts needed. He just did it, he just did what he had to to protect Rex. To protect his family. He was the protector after all.  He would do what he had to to protect Rex. He made a promise and he tried not to make promises he couldn't keep. He didn't break promises if he could help it. Part of his morals and mentality, his loyalty how he showed trust, how he was raised. He knew promises were meant to be kept, and this promise was the most important one he ever made. He would keep it. He would protect his new found family.
