Silence is the head librarian at the Lanternlea College Library. He is also Friday and Tobers' new carer. As a fellow Ice dragon who felt for the Aether brothers' plight he volunteered for the role when it was discovered no other family remained to care for the pair. Silence felt he was uniquely equipped to care for the Aethers, giving them ample access to written knowledge and a comfortable dwelling that is already adapted to the needs of the heavy-set Coatl. He would never confess that his original intention was selfish; it was quite clear to Silence that somehow Tober was capable of using Ice Magic to defy death... And has done so, at least once. Despite those initial intentions he has grown to adore his new house-guests, and was delighted when the pair started referring to him as their 'brother', returning the gesture in-kind. Teaching Tober to read and (hopefully) speak may help Silence answer some fascinating questions, but as of yet Tober mostly speaks aloud with his brother, and rarely speaks Sornieth Common at all. He demonstrates clear understanding of everything Silence says, and regularly demands (in his way) that Silence read to him. Silence is certain the child is capable, but he also knows that pushing him to speak before he is ready will get them all nowhere. Tober is included in Friday's regular speech therapy, and Silence will have to wait.
