"I do. Just a younger brother now." Wilhelm nodded. "Klaus. 9 years old."

He nodded a little bit. "Yeah. What's that like?" He asked.

"Having a younger brother? It's not awful- he can be annoying, but he's not too bad."

He nodded at that. "Yeah. Ah've never had any siblings."

"Ah." Wilhelm nodded. "I'd say you're lucky. At least you don't have share a room with anyone."

He laughed a little, thinking of his uncle, of being thrown down the stairs. "Ah'd…rather share a room then be alone."

"At least you've got the dorms, then." Wilhelm offered. "You're sharing a dorm now." He laughed softly.

He laughed. "That's…no' what ah meant, bu'…yeah." he replied.

"Well." Wilhelm put his hand up partially. "I'm not sure what else you mean."

"It's…it's nothing." He replied, shaking his head.

"Alright." Wilhelm nodded, not wanting to push it. "But, to answer your question, having siblings is nice. That's really it."

He nodded a little bit. "Yeah. But…ah never had any an' never will." He shrugged.

"..True." Wilhelm sighed. "I need to check for any mail. I wrote my mother a few weeks back about holiday, I need to see if she's written me back."

He looked over at him. "Alright." he replied. "Have fun wi' tha'."

Wilhelm chuckled softly. "I will. After class. I don't want to risk being late."

He smiled a little bit. "Alright." he replied.

Wilhelm checked his watch. "I'm not used to having so much time before class anymore." He laughed softly.

He laughed. "What, so yeh did nae need ta interrupt my sleep li' yeh did?"

"Maybe not." Wilhelm laughed as well. "But it's nice to get on a schedule. Besides, if I didn't wake you up, I'm not sure that you'd ever do it on your own."

Connor stuck out his tongue. "Ah'm no sleepin' beauty, Will." He replied, shaking his head at the German boy.

"Maybe not." Wilhelm grinned. "But you act like it."

Connor narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "What, are yeh callin' me pretty?" He asked, raising his eyebrows.

Wilhelm laughed. "What if I am?" He teased, winking at Connor. There was a playful gleam in his eyes.

Connor laughed a little bit. "Hmm. Dunno." he replied, smiling at Wil. "I might ask yeh ta prove it, an' then what'll yeh do?"

He grinned. "How do you want me to prove it?" Wilhelm was just teasing Connor at this point, though he'd be lying if he said he wasn't curious as to how Connor'd respond.

Connor blinked, mind flashing back to the Sleeping Beauty myth and a faint blush spreading over his cheeks. "Well– Ah dinnae know!"

"You don't know?" Wilhelm laughed. He watched Connor's face, seeing the soft pinks spread on his cheeks. "I feel like you asked without remembering how the fairy tale goes." He was blushing softly as well as he ran his fingers through his curls.

Connor stuck out his tongue. ''Well– yes, but yer th' German here, an' the Grimm brothers were from Germany. Shouldn't yeh know it better than me?"

"I do know the story, Connor." He twisted one of his curls between his fingers. "Would you like a refresher?"

Connor was still blushing. "Ah…ah dinnae think tha's necessary." he replied, shaking his head a little.
