#training regulus verse

Regulus looked away, pouting. He didn’t understand adults’ humour. At the mention of his eyes, Regulus looked back at Aspros in interest. It was the first that someone mentioned that his eyes were like his father. People were always pointing out that his eyes were full of life and curiosity and it was a healthy look for a child to have. His father’s eyes were filled with years of wisdom and also sorrow behind it.

Sisyphus softly smiled at the mention of Regulus’ eyes. “Yes, he does. They both had such keen eyes that can see things far beyond a normal human can see.”

As Aspros mentioned how troublesome Sisyphus was when he was younger, Regulus looked at him with curiosity while Sisyphus looked at his friend in horror.

“Aspros…” Sisyphus started, warning his friend that he better not be sharing those stories with Regulus but one glance from Aspros explained everything. Sisyphus gave him one last warning look and quietly left them. He just hoped his friend would grant him some mercy in choosing a story that doesn’t ruin his reputation too much.

Regulus did not realize his uncle had left as he was very interested in what stories Aspros was going to tell him.

“What do you mean by that?”

His uncle always seemed so mature and responsible. He could not imagine his uncle giving his father a hard time and being very troublesome when he was younger.

“Ah…” Defteros mentioned a good point. Of course, it wasn’t in the Sanctuary rules to have a stowaway… but Defteros was Aspros’ twin brother and not a stowaway in his eyes. When Defteros mentioned that bronze saints and trainees aren’t supposed to be up here without proper checks and supervision, Regulus remained quiet. They were definitely breaking a few rules and he already knew that.

“I am new to the Sanctuary so I am not too familiar with the rules here. I don’t have a full understanding of all the Sanctuary rules.”

He understood some of the rules. They were there to make sure there was order. Some of them… he didn’t understand and it seems unnecessary.

“When I lived and travelled with my father in the wild, there weren’t any rules.” There were the laws of nature but the laws of nature were different than rules. “Nature didn’t have any rules like the Sanctuary did. We live as we see fit as long as we respect the Earth. I am more used to the laws of nature than human rules. I know my father doesn’t like anyone who disrespects nature but regarding people who break rules… I don’t know. Both of us broke the rules. Your brother broke the rules too. Does that make the three of us bad people? I don’t feel like a bad person. In my eyes, bad people are people who hurt people for no reason like the evil specters. We didn’t hurt anyone so that means we are not bad people. Your brother didn’t hurt anyone by hiding you so he isn’t a bad person either.”
