His tail wags lazily as he watches the process in awe, he was grateful to James in many ways, especially how he was able to make certain processes simpler that would otherwise be considered tedious for the draconian.

Once his goblet sized treat was complete Alexander sniffs at it curiously rather than cautiously. He touched the metal of the goblet and it's devilishly cold, to which he flinches, still, he's determined to try this milkshake.

He dips his forked tongue in and flicks it back into his mouth, and much to his delight he's enraptured by this new chilly treat.

Sure it's cold but not enough to cause any serious harm. He eats it slowly, as recommended, until the goblet is poshed off completely.

"Oh James that was....delicious. I didn't know cold things could taste so wonderful! I see why you enjoy this flavor ✨"

"Strawberries are my weakness, its the perfect treat on a warm day. When I saved up enough money I used to take Hannah to a little cafe near the park, she'd get chocolate and I'd get strawberry. I had a little jar I'd keep spare change in for treat days. Anything I could spare went in there. But when I couldn't afford them, I'd just make them. We'd sit on the roof and enjoy the summer." James might not of had money, but he was creative and didn't want his girl to go without.

"Speaking of the seasons, winter is coming. And with winter comes Christmas, if you want to get Debbie or Hannah any presents I'd be happy to help with ideas. I normally sort them out early so I don't have to worry about the rush. Already got yours~"

Dear Santa,

I'm sending this early so you have lots and lots of time before Christmas! Cos what I want is very very special and might be very hard.

This year, my Daddy and me found a family! They're a little rough when you meet them, but its because of the people who've made it hard for them to open up. They have the biggest hearts and I love them all very much.

You know my Daddy and my grandmas' and Mr Tirritus already, but now theres Papa Alexander, Cromwell, Uncle Edgar and Uncle Kalyan! I think Mumma would of liked them, cos they make me and Daddy very happy.

So what I'd want is for my family to get the bestest presents to make them happy this year, I don't mind if you can't give me any toys or anything if you do that, cos its a lot of work to do that.

My family is getting bigger and bigger, so if you need me to write you next years letter sooner let me know!

Lots of love Hannah.

OH! And heres a picture of them so you know who they are!

"James dear! I was thinking...perhaps we can gently through Hannah a party. What was it again....ah yes a Halloween party."

A Halloween party? That was a cute idea! It didn't have to be anything big, let her invite a few of her friends while Alexander had some of his own over too.

"I think thats a great idea, I'm sure we can put our heads together and come up with a lovely one." At least if she was overwhelmed she could retreat to her room to cool down.

James over here with his gay thoughts.

“I’m not a monk- wait... humans came from monkeys... so maybe I am part monkey?” Hannah questioned as she came out of hiding, the floating orb beside her eyeballing the strangers cautiously.

“What are you doing in my Papa’s garden Misters? It’s dangerous when the roses don’t know you... they get hungry.” She pointed to the glistening rose bush that acted as part of the castle’s security, though the glistening was actually drool... and one was gnawing on a skull. “If you wanna see my Papa or my Daddy you should come to the front door. Mister Cromwell would go get them.”

James spotted a very flat gift wrapped in tissue paper. Picking it up a little card fell off of it. He recognised the handwriting right away. Hannah.

‘Happy birthday Daddy! I thought I’d make you something special you could keep on your wall, to remind you about the family who loves you, so when you feel lonely you can look at this and remember. Lots of Love, Hannah the master of taking sneaky pictures. p.s. I’d of gotten more pictures of people but as our family grows we can put them in later and make it even BIGGER!’

Raising his brow James opened up the present, his eyes widening as he found a piece of card and lots of glitter and pretty shapes stuck over it... but the pictures....

James knew Hannah was a bright kid, but this... his child didn’t have money to buy a gift, but she knew what meant a lot to him. She knew how alone he felt at times with how his head was. His child had gone through the effort of tracking those down who called him ‘family’.

And she was right, that number would increase someday, and this could get bigger as time goes by.

James shook as he held the collage close to his chest, tears dripping down his cheeks, he didn’t care if he got glitter on himself. His birth may not of been a happy one... but his existence brought joy to at least these people in his life.

He could live with that.

James had been in the middle of sparring when Cromwell tapped him on the shoulder, turning his head to look at the butler before he felt his opponent sweep their staff under his legs. With a yelp he landed in a heap, much to the guard’s amusement.

“Sorry my prince, you should take care not to be distracted in combat though.” The demon teased, sliding his hand under James’s arm to haul him up easily. “Next time Valor... next time I want a rematch.” James huffed, tail flicking behind him much to Valor’s amusement. They nodded in agreement and bowed their head at Cromwell in greeting, before they accepted the staff James had been using and returned to their duties.

The rabbit had James’s full attention now.

“He wants me? I... noticed an emphasis on the word want there.” James replied, “Is he in his room?” The prince had yet to go to the lower levels of the castle himself, he wasn’t even aware there was a den down there.

The sound of a rather diminutive psychic clearing his throat comes from behind, followed by the crackling of lightning. "So.. I hear you're trying to teach my niece how to fly. And I can appreciate wanting to connect with your grandchild, I do- but see, we're not going to do that. And if you do, I can promise.."

"It will not be ending well."

"... humans don't normally come with electric eyes. Are you part eel?" Herish is being 100% serious, "Also if you're referring to me trying the drop flight technique with Hannah I wasn't going to let her hit the ground, I'd of caught her. I was trying to convince Cromwell do to it with me, then we have TWO people who fly who can catch her."
