[flameguard]

...Because I joined the Knights Ardante.

I wasn't going to - even though I really wanted to, I had a responsibility to my house. Not only that, but, when we were kids, I swore to protect her from anything and everything I could. But... Cordelia was the one who convinced me to go. [ rondo says with a little bit of a laugh, ducking his head. ]

She said that I was being considerate of her feelings, but she could tell that I wanted to join the Knights. So... I gave up my last name to begin training to be the Flameguard with her blessing.

I think about her every day. [ his baby sister 🥹 ]

[this is so cute lifts my son up

but unfortunately she's just silent for a long moment, the ink on her arm fading before it's replaced with one word - "reen".]

I suppose that's a good reason.

[ ME POINTING I KNOW THAT NAME ]

She's also far smarter than me - she's a better head of the house than I ever would have been. [ he really just says it

there's a long pause, and after a moment, he chances, some of the normal rondo enthusiasm fading away into something softer, more gently concerned: ] ...Who's Reen?

[allomantic]

[rondo your baby emotions...... she hesitates, and then continues in a tone that makes it clear she will not be taking further questions, sorry,]

My brother.

[ oh...

well, he can read tone well enough, and he nods, taking it in, just letting it wash over him.

and, after a long moment... ]

... For whatever you experienced, I'm sorry that your brother's name would appear on you like this.

[ among fears and regrets - the way cordelia's appears on him, the fear that she's lonely, that she's scared, that something could happen and he couldn't be there to protect her. ]

[allomantic]

It's nothing you caused.

[anyways time for a very subtle subject change!!!!]

...Where did you get assigned to sleep?

[flameguard]

Still.

[ the stubbornness of a sunshine who will not let that one go. but he does at least take to the topic change, tilting his head back in the direction of - ]

The cabin. It's pretty nice, actually...! There's enough space for everyone to sleep. What about you, Vin?
