FOLEO HAD NEVER BEEN FOND of lying in wait while others risked their lives. It was the unknown that he feared—not knowing whether his dear allies would survive, not knowing how far they’d marched or what terrors they were witnessing—it was all agonizing. Thankfully for his sanity, he was never the only one left behind. Many others were, one of which being his elder cousin, Siegbert, and he could take solace in that fact. He was grateful for the chance to speak with Siegbert in particular, and had sought him out as an attempt to bond with him.
“I was, indeed.” Despite the apparent break, Foleo was still alert, ready to provide his services as a healer, should the others return and require them. However, there was no use dwelling on possibilities of what could happen - it was best for him to busy himself elsewhere, and so he was. With a kind smile tugging at his lips, he regarded his cousin, hands folded neatly at his front.
“Are you busy, Siegbert? I’m not intruding, am I?” He looked to be occupied, at least, but Foleo hoped he wasn’t interrupting anything important. “Perhaps you and I could spend some time together.” / ( @duskheir )
『 ♞ 』 A smile rested upon pale lips while regarding his dear cousin if there was one person he loved to see it was always Foleo he had such a bright disposition that Siegbert could not help but relax a little. It was good to take his own mind off the possibility that those off in battle would be injured or harmed in some way, while they were still children and should not be involved in this bloody war it was something that never sat right with Siegbert.
Even more so after he had spent so long defending his own deeprealm from those strange transparent enemies, long before the day his father showed up for a visit after so many years it had become a habit. Now to be sitting here and doing nothing but wait in anticipation? At least there were distractions around the castle that could keep them busy, Siegbert almost always found himself studying or doing some type of training outside.
❛I always have time for you Foleo, is there something you need of me?❜
Yet, hearing the last part of the sentence brought an even brighter smile to his features, it was not often that he got to spend time with family members everyone was always so busy. Siegbert also found himself quite guilty of missing out on these opportunity's too, considering the boy nearly worked himself into the ground with studying and training every waking hour.
❛Of course, I would love to spend sometime with you.❜
