Filbert and Nathair were waiting for their guest to arrive, Filbert was sat on the low wall attached to the entrey stairs and Nathair was up in the tree beside it, draped over a branch with his slightly longer than average limbs just hanging happily. They were talking as the carriage pulled up and servants tended to the water prince and directed him over towards the twins. At first only Filbert was visible as he jumped down off the wall and gave a small wave, the twins and Zeno hadn’t seen each other since they were children, and that felt like a millennia ago. He sighed when Nathair didn’t join him, so he looked up at them, “Nathair.” His voice seemed to cary authority, he was the elder twin after all. His voice wasn’t too deep but there was a roughness to it, it was no secret that the elder prince’s alternate form was a wolf. Less was known about Nathair as they tended to keep to themself.
They jumped down from the tree, the pair looked almost exactly the same, aside from Nathair’s long limbs making him slightly taller, his hair was shoulder length whereas Filbert’s was short. Nathair’s eyes were gold but Filbert’s were brown as he chose to wear his glamor to appear more human. Their clothing was also similar, Filbert was more tidy and perfect due to having to have a good reputation for taking the throne. But Nathair had their shirt half open and wore heeled boots which caused him to be even taller. “Sssssorry.” They apologised before glancing over at Zeno, their voice was much softer and they had a lisp.
“Welcome Prince Zeno, I would love to stay and chat but I am needed elsewhere, I’ll leave you with my sibling.” He said before giving a half bow and walking up the stairs.
Nathair rolled their eyes before smiling at Zeno, “Don’t mind him, he’ss not alwayss like that. I’m Nathair, he’s Filbert.” They figured they should mention who was who given when they had last seen each other the twins had been truly identical.
