As Hero stared forlorn up at the stars, a familiar voice caught his attention. It was his best friend, Spoony! He smiled a bit, in spite of himself, and quickly hopped down off the balcony down to the garden below. She approached him with that same old skip in her step, and asked him why he was up so late. 

[color=00746b][b]"I could ask you the same question, but I know the answer already; Work. Still sharpening swords this late into the night, aye?"[/b][/color] He joked. [b][color=00746b]"You work too hard.[/color][/b]" He said, while stretching out. He would never understand his friend's dedication to her work. Sure, he loved cooking, but he'd never work this late. Not unless he was doing something for a personal friend. That may have been because his love of sleep though, something this dreaded feeling temporarily had taken from him.

He sighed and sat down, his attempt to rub the back of his neck thwarted when he remembered he had that odd spike jutting out from the back of it. That made sleeping a bit harder, but it was nothing major, and did not rob him of his precious eight hours. [b][color=00746b]"What's with all this, recently?"[/color][/b] He asked his friend. [color=00746b][b]"I mean, your father, my mother, this."[/b][/color] He said, gesturing to his exposed chest, and the various glowing lines strewn across it, with a slightly bemused grin. [b][color=00746b]"I'm not a man of faith, but it seems that something is happening, with all of this in a year."[/color][/b] He reckoned. [color=00746b][b]"I'm..."[/b][/color] He paused, looking for the right words. [b][color=00746b]"Unsure if I want to continue on my path. Or even what my path is. I mean, Mother did not want me to become a Kingsguard. I am also a bit unsure. Would that really be what benefits us all best? I met a man of the Kingsguard [i]guarding the hall[/i] on my way here. And he didn't even know whom I was!"[/color][/b] Hero sighed. Maybe he was being to heavy with her. She had presumably just wanted to relax before bed after a tough night. He cleared his throat. [b][color=00746b]"Sorry, I got a little out of hand there. I understand you want to relax too."[/color][/b] He shook his head with a twinge of self-disappointment, and turned his attention towards her. [b][color=00746b]"How have you been? Working as hard as ever, presumably?"[/color][/b] He asked.
