i won't spread your secret princehood. wait, who is niles? apart from flirty and stabby.
[elects... not to respond... to 4 am wake-up text warnings. he resolves to figure out how to put his phone on silent so Alex doesn't wake up and piledrive him through the bottom of their tent]
[he also sort of... dodges talking about combating his fears. he came face to face with Fenrir, and he's still fucking afraid of wolves. he's probably more afraid of them after that. it's just going to be something he lives and dies with, probably. let's not talk about how big they are maybe!]
how old are the dogs?
alex isn't shy. he'll tell you when you mess up. i have a kind of cheat code to know when he's a he or a she but i feel like sharing his gender doesn't help other people be more respectful about that kind of stuff.
[he feels weirdly Touched by the last line. it reminds him weirdly of Jack in syntax, but the emotion behind it is all Odin]
The people who came before me have done some amazing things. There are people in my bloodline who saved the world. My aunt died trying to prevent a great war. My uncle was a gallant hero with no equal. My cousin took after him. We're held up as a royal family 'cause of the deeds we've done and the mark we bear. It's rad.
[ and also a lot of pressure, and man oh man, he is 100% not mentioning his mom even though she's the best hero of them all, let's move on ]
Ugh, so. He's this other retainer. My co-retainer? He's stabby and flirty and snoops around in my past. That's literally all you need to know about him. LET'S STOP TALKING ABOUT DUMB STUPID NILES. The dogs! I don't know how old the dogs are. I think they're pretty old. I wanted to get the ones nobody else wanted, so. Y'know.
And, okay. The Alex stuff makes sense. I don't want to mess up at all, let alone enough for him to call me out, but... I respect him a lot! I mean, how could I not? He's a really cool person who you're obviously pretty close to, and considering you like me so much, you obviously have very good taste when it comes to choosing friends. (He kind of scares me, though. Cool people always do.)
