“Have you ever considered that you simply aren't looking hard enough, Phoenix?” Sleipnir muses, something akin to amusement flashing across their features. Of course, though, it comes as no surprise that they're lying. Sleipnir is the only member of House Harbard because they simply made it up. A long time ago, when they were first given mortal form by their wise and merciful King, Barnabas informed them that they ought to think of a name for themself. A family name. Because everyone had one, so it was the best thing to do for no one to question them. Sleipnir doesn't remember where they saw the name Harbard or how they thought of it, but simply that it felt right.
They shrug, clasping their hands behind their back as they peer at Joshua through the bars. “Though I wonder why it matters, hm? You know what they say about curiosity. How it can kill. Have you ever considered not poking your nose where it doesn't belong?”
