"Hey buddy," Darren smiled at the boy.

"Hi! I'm Nathaniel Tobias Windsor, Lloyd's my big brother! At least that's what Val said… I don't remember him a whole lot."

"That's a cool name," He laughed, "I'm Darren Everett Anderson and Lloyd is my friend. It's good to meet you," Darren put his hand out assuming the child knew what a handshake was.

Nathaniel shook his hand before holding his arms up to be carried. He only weighed about five pounds, and was often simply carried since he couldn't fly.

Darren smiled and pick Nathaniel up. He looked at Lloyd, "Your brother is going to be my new best friend,"

Lloyd smiled softly. "He's fairly sociable. Keep in mind, you may have to carry him everywhere. He can't fly, and he's gotten quite used to just being carried instead." Nathaniel wrapped his arms around Darren's neck, looking back at Genatrix and cocking his head to the side curiously.

"I- I'm sorry I'm incredibly confused. Why on earth is there a young-ling here? Isn't there strict rules that forbid young Pure Ones from leaving its walls?" Genatrix shook her head. She was revealing too much of her knowledge.

"I'm good with carrying him where ever he wants! He's adorable." Darren smiled.

"What? I'm not sure. For battle, it's allowed. Usually it's impossible for young angels who aren't in battle to leave unless they…." His eyes widened. "Unless their guardians have died…" His voice dropped to a whisper. "Nate, where's mom and dad? Are they okay?" Nathaniel thought for a moment. "They left and they didn't come back. Peter told me they were 'gone'." (Peter's the leader of the soldiers btw) Lloyd turned away, his breath catching in his throat. "Oh, no… this is bad, very bad… he'll have to stay here…"

"Lloyd are you okay," Darren had a flashback of when his mom died and knew Lloyd would need someone even if they weren't close.

"Y-Yes… fine.. fine…" Lloyd said quietly, his voice cracking. Everything seemed to be… dull. And spinning. Pull yourself together! You hardly knew them! True, but they're my parents, and now they're dead! And Nathaniel's stuck with me! Nathaniel seemed confused, as though he didn't quite understand the concept of death, which he didn't.

"I can help with Nathaniel, and whatever else you need," Darren reassured.

"Yeah!" Nathaniel said brightly enough. "It's okay, mom and dad go out all the time! I'm sure they'll come back soon." Lloyd sighed, rubbing his tired eyes. "I… N-Nate, it… it doesn't work quite like that. Mom and dad…. t-they won't be coming back…" "What do you mean?" "I mean… I-I mean they're gone, Nate. Gone forever. T-They won't come back home…"

Darren rubbed Nate's back, "Do you understand what he's saying?"

"Are they on a trip? Did they move away to the 'beach'?" Nathaniel still seemed confused. "Um… yeah, s-sure. We'll go with that till you're old enough to understand…" Tears stung Lloyd's eyes, and he turned away from Darren and his brother. Don't let them see you cry…

Genatrix shifted around uncomfortably.

"This was a mistake." She muttered under her breath.

"I have come to request a pegasus eyelash."

Darren noticed Lloyd's tears but didn't mention it, he didn't want to upset Nate.

"Er, w-what for?" Lloyd tried to casually brush the tears from his eyes, fairly glad for a change of subject.

Genatrix winced slightly. She had hoped to avoid that question.

"That is… very complicated." Genatrix measured her words carefully. "My mistress forbade me to share the reason." Genatrix slapped her hand over her mouth when she realized she said 'Mistress'

Mistress? So a servant of some sort? Whatever… Val won't miss an eyelash or two… "Er, okay then…" He stepped outside and whistled for Val, gesturing for her to enter the apartment. She trotted in, whinnying quietly and touching Nathaniel gently with her nose.

Genatrix held her breath as the pegasus entered the room. Her instincts screamed at her to run, but she had to remain calm in front of the angel. Er, angels.

"Well, go on. Do what you need to do, and mind you don't hurt her. She's pregnant, and probably pretty feisty." Lloyd walked out of the room and went to sit on the kitchen counter. It was a habit of his for when he needed to think.

(Ahhhhhh. That's terrible…

Dearly, beloved, we are here to not only gathered here to mourn our lose but to celebrate the lives of Lloyd and Nate's parents and @ShadeStar.)
