(Logan smiles with the very corner of his lips. His yellow and silver eyes seeming misty as if a film of tears are threatening to fall, again, odd because a teifling does not need to tear up and have no tear ducts.)

Logan: Thomas had been having bad dreams when he was very young, around 5-7, so one night he got up in the middle of the night and crept out of his room, sneaking around the palace. I found him staring off out a window as the sun came up, his eyes dropping and head lolling because of how tired he was.

(Logan chuckles lightly and with much fondness)

Logan: He was trying so hard to stay awake, I suppose to watch the sun rise, that he didn’t notice me approaching from behind despite the fact I never softened my footsteps in my approach.

Logan: He looked up at me and looked terrified. He probably thought I was going to chastise him or bring him back to his room telling him to ‘not wander around the castle this late at night’ as others may have.

Logan: But I didn’t. I simply sat beside him, watching the sun rise with him. He didn’t notice at the time, but he leaned on me more and more as the sun rose and by the time it was fully up above the horizon, he had fallen asleep on me.

Logan: I took him back to his room, careful not to wake him and put him to bed, informing his parents of what he had done, which they both collectively groaned and chuckled at.

Thomas: Oh, I met Talyn a few years after Joan when we had a celebration, I can’t remember exactly what it was for, but my parents and I as the rulers of the kingdom went around the kingdom giving gifts to our citizens and they gave gifts back. 

Thomas: When we came to Talyn’s house, they were on the roof and were so excited as they saw us coming that they accidentally fell off the roof. And I was so concerned about them in the moment that I dashed to catch them and they fell on me. Neither of us were hurt, but that event I guess lead their parents and ours into a kind of friendship, including the two of us becoming close.

Thomas: In general, we would only meet each other if my parents or their parents asked to meet in a formal manner, with a personalized banquet and everything. But before they passed, I was able to request from my parents to allow Talyn themself to come without their parents as we had become friends and wanted to meet outside of the rare occasions of our parent’s meetings.

Thomas: Relationship wise, we are and always have been just friends, and they met Joan and my other friends and we became a tight knit group of best friends. They were my grounding to reality, a peek into non-royal life. 

Thomas: We... met when I was young, I remember vaguely seeing them around the palace before, but we met when I was punished for something I don’t even remember by being forced to stay in my room.

Thomas: They somehow found their father’s keys and unlocked the door, finding me crying into my pillows. I felt like I had done nothing wrong, and I probably didn’t. I almost lashed out at them when they tapped me on the back, thinking it was my parents, but it was just them. We played together until my parents came to allow me to leave my room, and they got pretty spooked when they found the door cracked open with the keys still in the lock.
