Ah, it truly is a tale as old as time, 
This version tells of an unicorn and bat whose hearts intertwine. 
Both servants under the same Princess, 
Is it possible the courtship of an attendant and guard could exist?

Many thanks to the Quills people who read/left comments as well as AuroraDawn and my partner Ember for additional help.
