"And Daddy is the princess!" Sleipnir eclaimed after his brother, looking down at Daddy. He was beautiful though it wasn't the sort of beauty in a princess. He couldn't actually place what it was, but that perhaps made Daddy even more beautiful. He reached down to smoith out Daddy's tangled locks when a voice startled him. He hadn't heard anyone come in abd he had been keeping an ear out for Father's return, so it unsettled him just slightly that someone had been able to sneak in without any notice. 

 Looking up at the man, Sleipnir feld a pang of familiarity, perhaps someone Edge had known. Had possibly liked too because Sleipnir couldn't feel any hostilitycoming from the man and his eyes were lije Daddy's so he couldn't have been that bad. He was still as cautious as his brother though, not returning the hug he was given though it radiated the same 'warmth' he had felt from either Father or Daddy. Pulling away, he stared at Charon curiously and asked, "Are you Daddy's friend? I'm....Sleipnir. .." His voice was soft and he siddled up closer to hid brother to squeeze his hand.

 He watched Charon wearily, taking note of the way he looked at Daddy, such affection in his eyes like Father's own, but less guarded. Less fearful and unsure. He must really be Daddy's good friend, but Sleipnir couldn't help but speak up when he lay down, "You shouldn't do that. Only Father gets to do that to Daddy." Like he was reprimanding a school boy, thinking perhaps Charon was just confused and didn't know it wasn't right for him to do what Father did.
 
 "You have grown, Relin. And now, I believe you have reached the age to take over your mother's place on this council." Regnum withdrew his hand and gently bit his thumb, a bead of white blood springing up. He smeared it gently along Path's forehead, the younger closing his eyes as he felt it. It was an honor, a gift and his birth right, but some part of him ached. Perhaps it was already too late for him, having fallen into the darkness, but he still felt the warmth and the strength of the...his fellow elders. He opened his eyes and stared up at Regnum who smiled down at him before saying, "Right, now, shall we deal with our uninvited guest?"

 All eyes were immediately trained upon the stranger. Regnum turned to face her and in a voice that shook souls, asked, "And what business does thou have here?"
