Nithel smiled inside at Alessio’s laughter. Then when the laughter didn’t stop, Nithel’s eyes got a hesitant twinkle. He had made the youth laugh. (Albeit unintentionally.) *thoughts/sweet memories of home*

Nithel gave Alessio a small bow with his head. I’m glad you laughed.

Alessio coughed a few times, then after a moment, he answered. “You’re right, we’ve been so busy trying to survive the Castle no one’s thought of fighting back. We might stand a chance if we actually form a stra- a plan to make ourselves so unbearable to the Castle or otherwise discover a weakness that would force it to return us to our homes.”

Nithel’s brows lifted some, and he doesn’t have athing else to add. But his eyes have a small joy in them now, grateful for laughter.  Nithel gives Alessio another small nod, “I will do as you say.”  Will you need to confer with the others here? Or are you alone with this girl? But he doesn’t ask.

Nithel looks at the girl, Mayra, and gives her a small smile with his eyes. Tempered with sadness, but also hope.
