If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. 

Although Gaspard would say he’s a mama’s boy, he still very much loves his father. His father is a very straight-laced kind of guy. He’s proper, and very business-like. Though, in moments when he does relax, his family is the thing to get him smiling. Particularly his wife. He’s the kind of guy who seems intimidating from the outside, but is very easy to talk to once you realize that his disposition isn’t what it appears to be--Gaspard can relate to that. Even after nine or so years, Gaspard still feels as though his dad is something of a mystery to him. 

Sanura is the one who found Gaspard--whose name was Rene at the time. Usually, when picking a child for adoption, Sanura and her husband, Nestor, would pick together and discuss it and both meet the child. This was not the case for Gaspard. Because of the time-sensitivity of the matter and Sanura’s worry about losing track of the boy the police didn’t know quite what to do with, Nestor didn’t meet Gaspard before his adoption. Though, Sanura and him spoke on the phone about the issue. Because of this, Sanura has been something of a savor in his mind. He is very close with her. Sanura built her family on the foundation of intellect, uniqueness, and self-honesty. She is someone that Gaspard greatly admires. 

Lachlan always taught Ted that balancing emotion and logic was the key to being happy and maintaining healthy relationships. It’s how he’s kept his relationship with his wife and son as amazing as possible over the years--even through the hard times. When Ted cried, Lachlan was there to hold him just as much as Corrine was. Though, he never could have fully understood his son when he was given more privilege and chances than he was. This tears him up, and while he does what he can to sympathize, he can’t exactly empathize. 

Lucius is quite close with his mother.  Despite the harsh nature that is usually associated with the Sacred 28, Lucius considers his mother to be one of the most elegant and loving women he has ever known. Albeit, strict. As a child, one of his fondest memories is of his mother brushing his blond hair. She taught him to be polite, even to those that he may not think deserve it because you never know what sort of connections you’ll need down the line. She also taught him to always stand-up straight, greet everyone with a smile (even if it’s a fake smile), take charge whenever possible, and to be well-versed in the traditions of the family.
