CIRCLE ERA STARTER / @beastmade
Camping. Valentine wasn’t certain which of them had truly suggested it -- though he, himself, had suggested that they take the time to train together. Perhaps Valentine had simply wanted some more time away from his parents -- the academy had let out for a time and those who lived in Alacante were allowed the opportunity to return home. His father had requested that he return on any school breaks so that he could continue to train hard -- and so Valentine had told his parents that he was going camping to train with his parabatai.
His bag upon his shoulder, Valentine made his way to the Graymark establishment, knocking and standing regimental, as he always did, having spent so many years under the scrutiny of his father. Though as the door to the Graymark building opened, Valentine found himself smiling. The very prospect of spending time with his brother in arms was rallying. He didn’t greet Lucian, instead he crossed his arms over his chest, looking casual as he did so, and his simple smile began to show teeth. ❛ I am unsure whether you’re prepared to spend this time with me. ❜ There was a teasing note to his tone -- Valentine didn’t take everything seriously, especially not around Lucian. ❛ What if we got into some great mischief? After all, boys will be boys. ❜
