Alwyn bit back a retort and instead caught himself sighing despite his efforts to remain stoic as his mother made another one of her remarks. He even actually checked his gown, despite knowing it was properly tied, such was the effect that his mother had on him. Grumbling slightly under his breath, he followed her like an obedient kit-some things changed, other things stayed the same, and the only one who had ever given him the advice and gumption to gain more autonomy from his mother had been Annabelle...and she was...no, he was not going to think about that. Not now, not while he was vulnerable.
Alwyn followed closely behind his mother, and just simply stared at Daniil and Caden holding paws, in a position that was...hard...to construe as friendly. Harder still when his mother made another one of her comments, which caused him to flush. Thrown out of sorts by the situation and his mother’s manipulations, he did not even protest as he moved to lie down on the other bed. This was too much for him to handle at once, in all honesty. He knew, of course, of such dandy relationships-it was something of an open secret in Amarone that much of the nobility he was assigned to guard, and, more than a few members of the Guard, had such inclinations but he had never heard of such in an interspecies context. How did that even…? And Daniil?
He shivered a little bit at the thought, less so because he was aghast at the nature of such, he had...been...experimental with his numerous vixens, and his own record with love was...checkered...but because it was his cousin, and his cousin had never told him, and now, with the issues it raised within the Guard, of him going after a superior officer…for Kitsune’s sake. He pulled up one of the blankets on the bed over his head, both for the warmth in the chilly room, and to hide his expression until he could compose himself.
What a clusterfrig…
A sentiment felt only more when Caden actually dared to make a sarcastic remark to his mother.
