I smiled. "Seems that you got it."

I yawned.

"You better go to bed, else you might fall asleep here," Alex said.

"Yeah, I planned to, but Elliot dragged me here," I said.

"Sorry," Elliot said with a shy smile.

I sighed. I couldn't stay mad at him when he was giving me those puppy eyes.

"It's fine." At least I got to learn a little more about the usually reserved Alex. Curious to meet this younger brother of his.

"Yeah, just don't do it again," Alex said, patting his friend's shoulder. "Else I'll lift you and throw you over the city walls."

"Ehh? You wouldn't actually do that to your best bud, right?"

Alex smiled impishly. "Wish to test me?"

"No," he said flatly.

Alex laughed. "Very good. Let's go to sleep now. I'm beat!"

After dropping the boys off in their room, I walked over to mine. As I made arrived to my room, I came across Jason who was leaning beside the door to it.

"Is something the matter, J?" I asked.

He glanced at me and smiled. "I was hoping to speak with you you."

My face flushed. "A-about what?"

He looked away. "It's about my dad."

My body tensed up. Uncle?
