Atreus had been invited to stay at Palace by the King—being a friend of the royal family had it’s benefits. He was due to head back to the Circle within the next few days but he could always make time for his majesty the king. Coming straight from the Chantry, clad in his full Templar Regalia Atreus had decided he would freshen up before meeting with the King of Starkhaven.
Armour had been placed upon the provided stand and he’d soon bathed and cleaned himself up and he was about to start dressing into something appropriate for dinner when he heard a small voice.
The Knight Commander turned towards it, piercing blue hues taking note of where his sword was, before he relaxed when he saw it was only Sebastian.
“Whit are ye doin’ in here ur Mòrachd Rìoghail?” He dipped his head in a little bow. It wasn’t the first time the young prince had sought him out and Atreus doubted it would be the last.
With a small wave of his free hand he ushered Sebastian to sit down before he vanished behind the privacy screen to change.
Following the old man’s invitation, the young prince quickly closed the door, before he climbed on a chair and wriggled until he as properly seated against the backrest, his legs swinging idly. As he answered the question, he looked at the screen, waiting for the templar to finally come out and properly talk with him.
❝Máthair[1] is mad ‘at Ah put frogs in braar’s[2] bed. She threatened to tell athair[3]❞, his little Highness explained with a bored voice. But despite his put on indifference, his tiny hands nervously kneaded the hem of his tunic, an obvious sign of great distress for the little prince.
❝Athair is very busy these days. He doesnae want tae be bothered wit’ mah wee pranks. If braar hadn’t snitched- Ah jist donae want athair tae git mad wit’ me too.❞
The Prince of Starkhaven demanded respect among his peers, but in his youngest son, he mostly instilled fear. There was reason, why Sebastian avoided his father on days, where he seemed restless or stressed in general - Reasons carrying names like ‘being grounded’, ‘prohibited archery training’ and, worst of all, ‘The Cane’. So when his mother threatened to inform his father of his ill behavior, Sebastian’s initial reaction was to run away. Only that the little prince, knew no other places but the palace, yet. So he fleed to the only one of two people that he conected with a sense of safety: Knight Commander Atreus Melchor.
