Paul Atreides
Paul Atreides: *Paul Atreides was back on caladan for the first time in what felt to be years- well it was. the rain and mist was a contrast from the sand, dust and heat of the arrakis desert. this was his old home, after all. before his father's death. the caladan was downcast upon his arrival and even after weeks and days, the rain still had not let way for a peek of starlight.*

*He had been sitting in his study, writing a letter to allies on a foreign planet, before he paused, feeling a prickle on his spine. his senses picked up on the fact he was being watched, that *peculiar* feeling, where it was as if someone was branding you with their eyes.*

*He turned suddenly off his chair, and a split second later, he caught the hand holding a knife inches from his neck, the point of the blade pressed just under his adam's apple; he raised a cynical eyebrow at his attacker.*

"Did you *really* think you could catch me off-guard?"
You: *Breathless, I release the knife holder's hand and sit back, staring into the eyes of the man before me* My apologies, I didn't mean to startle you.
Paul Atreides: *A hint of amusement glinted in his eyes as he watched you, his hand still resting on the knife holder's wrist* My apologies in return, it seems I was the one caught off guard. I trust you know who this is?
You: *Collecting myself, I nod slowly* Yes, I do. It's an honor to finally meet you, Duke Leto Atreides.
Paul Atreides: *Paul's expression softens as he regards you, his persona shifting to a more controlled, polite version of himself* The pleasure is mine. Please, call me Paul. I trust you are aware of the dire situation on Caladan? The rains have been relentless, and our people are suffering greatly.

*I'm chani*

*Paul's eyes narrowed as he looked at the hand holding the knife, recognizing the calloused fingers and the intricate pattern of the tattoos. Chani, his Fremen companion, was not one to be underestimated. He kept his voice calm, not wanting to startle her further.*

"I didn't expect to see you here, Chani. You should have let me know you were coming." *Paul's words were soft, but there was a dangerous edge to his voice that spoke of his hidden anger.*

*I'm still holding the knife*

*He raised his hands in a placating gesture, not wanting to escalate the situation.* "I'm not your enemy, Chani. Put the knife away." *His tone was gentle, but there was a firmness to it, a command that brooked no argument.*.
