They’d need to get moving, Alessio thought. But he felt relieved, lighter than he had in so many years. He kind’ve just wanted to talk about Nithel, Leana would know more about him and that was something he’d like to hear more of. What was it like, a kind loving person as a father?

They didn’t have time to talk though, the sooner they made it through the trails the more likely they’d find Nithel.

Also he was very awkward and had no clue what to say anymore, especially because Leana was so kind and he didn’t know how to *do* ‘interacting with genuinely wholesome nice people’.

“We should be leaving soon,” Alessio attempted “gather anything that seems reasonable to you, I’ll be back in a moment I just have to,” Confront Arsene about how the devil he knows Nithair. “see to a few things.”

He bowed to her politely (falling back on his royal training in etiquette which he should probably avoid doing because it drew too much attention…) and retreated. He’d started to walk away when he paused and touched the corner of his hood. What was he hiding from anyway – everyone already kind’ve knew who he was by now. It wasn’t any less safe to stop hiding so much…

After a moment he flicked back his hood, feeling very odd and uncomfortable but almost…safe. A strange, warm sensation surge through him – he almost freaked out because it felt too similar to his powers.

He glanced around for Arsene – how was it humanly possible for him to look so cheerful all the time!?!? Alessio grabbed him by the arm and pulled him out of the way of most people looking on. Then he pinned him to the wall stubbornly.

“How did you know Nathair?” He demanded, it took an effort to even say his name.
