Logan "Logic" Sanders

Patton beamed and gave him a quick hug. "Thank you!! Ok! Ok... let me go get a backpack ready with snacks and water and stuff! Ok? Thank you!" He let go and bolted downstairs.

"Alwasys so energetic!" Logan rolled his eyes, affectionately ruffling Patton's hair before the other raced off. He scanned the room for (and found) his tie, quickly tying it on before making his way down to his brother. "Got everything you need?"

"Mhm! Ready! I think ive got everything! Oooh, thats a nice tie! I think Virgil was coming over to drive over with us. Want me to drive?"

"Of the two of us you are the safest after all." He grinned slightly, picking up the keys off the counter and tossing them to Patton.

At first it bounced off pattons hand but he was able to pop it back up with his knee and catch it. "Ta da!"

"You're such a dork." He rolled his eyes, glancing at the clock. "Did Virgil say when he'd be here?"

Logan chuckled quietly at Patton's keeping of the time, head snapping to look to the door as it opened. He grinned slightly, returning Virgil's greeting with a wave. "Hello, Virgil. You weren't kissing about your timing, huh?"

"Time is too wobbly for such precise keeping, though. Sure it will far outlast us, but time as we know it is such a convoluted knot of string that trying to track it will only lead it to tangle further." He raised an eyebrow, biting at his lip in an effort to bite back his excitement on the topic. He always has been a nerd, after all.

Virgil smirked, "fair point. But consider, is time worth anything if we dont make the most of it? By tracking it we may maximize it for the small strip of cord our mortal life exists on."

"But why add such miniscule values to it? Why not stop at sunrise and sunset, daylight and darkness?"

"Because thats not the section of cord we were born on. This present existance expects more from us as we stand on the shoulders of the past. Occationally kicking their heads for their ignorance as we climb. Besides, how else could we preform any tasks on nights with no moon? Wed let the dawn sneak on us and ruin the rituals."

"Time ran far before humanity walked this earth, did prior species track the time? Or did they simply accept the rise of the sun and moon as light and dark? Humanity places such heavy values on things, why must we?"

Logan blinked for the first time in the conversation, eyes flashing over to Patton in quiet apology before nodding. "Yeah, let's head off. No use in waiting around!"

"I think Patton has once?" Logan glanced over to his brother quickly. "Personally, I haven't. You?"

"I- really? Am I that interesting to you?" He attempted to play off his confusion with a taunt, shooting a what did you tell this man glance at his twin.

Logan glances around for a small projectile to chuck at his brother. Finding none, he resigned to staring out the window and trying to fight down the blush threatening to rise.

He pauses for a moment, seemingly caught off guard before nodding softly. "yes please..." He says. His voice is feebler, more gentle, and he seems smaller than before. He seems to drop any pretense, though that small bit of a spark still remains untouched.

"Stay next to me. Do not run. You will likely not survive if you do, my guards are quick-reflexed. And, carry these." Logan handed him half the stack he'd brought with him, knocking once on the wall to alert his guard to the movement before gesturing Patton towards the door. Defensive even now...shame.

He nods, following the other with the papers in hand. He sticks to Logan's side, feeling the gaze of all the guards on him as he walks to make himself smaller.

He pauses outside a door smaller and less ornate than the others, opening it to reveal a small, rather empty room furnished with a few seats and, oddly, a roaring fire in the central fireplace. He gestures Patton in before locking the door behind them and turning his gaze back to the prince.

Patton beamed and gave him a quick hug. "Thank you!! Ok! Ok... let me go get a backpack ready with snacks and water and stuff! Ok? Thank you!" He let go and bolted downstairs.

Logan blinked for the first time in the conversation, eyes flashing over to Patton in quiet apology before nodding. "Yeah, let's head off. No use in waiting around!"

"Say what you want about your country, but its fall was inevitable. Had I not stepped in, it would have fallen to war and to ruin." He shot a glance at his guards, idly tapping his fingers on the arm of his throne. "You know full and well that had you remained in power, your kingdom would have burned."

"And perhaps my family's disdain of you was earned, did you ever stop to think of that?" Logan rose from his throne, stepping down and dropping to one knee a few paces in front of Patton. "You speak lies, your tongue is coated in silver and will not slide past me."

Patton tries valiantly to hide his fear as he's dragged away from the other. But now that Logan sees it, it's impossible to unsee the small tells in his figure. He's overcompensating a bit, cold calculation easily faked and sharp lines just a bit too perfect for comfort. His shoulders are practically pinned down by sheer force of will, and his facial mannerisms are betrayed by the flashes of terror that slip through his eyes as he's pulled away.

A million thoughts raced through Logan's mind as he watched Patton be taken away. He muttered a dismissal to his guards before slipping away, entering the palace's main library through a side entrance and setting to work gathering a collection of records and histories of their two kingdoms. Once he'd found everything he needed he made his way to the entrance to his own personal library, leaning up against the door and waiting in silence to gage how the prince within was feeling.

It's hard to tell from sound alone. However, there's the occasional rattling of his chains, accompanied by nearly silent sniffling, and there's very little sound beyond that. So he's probably not doing great.

Patton beamed and gave him a quick hug. "Thank you!! Ok! Ok... let me go get a backpack ready with snacks and water and stuff! Ok? Thank you!" He let go and bolted downstairs.
