❝ Not yet deserving...? I'd say you're already there, Alexandra! ❞ A shrug with an unsure smile. ❝ I mean- competing in the games themselves is not normal feat, right? ❞

4) And yes, Cai was the kid to bring home every animal he found and asked to keep it as a pet. This goes from snakes, to cats, to a stray dog, to an entire ornius. After that, his dad said "NO MORE!"

3) Obviously, Cai and Peter are close. I like to believe that Peter's parents are Cai's godparents, and Estie, Peter's Mom, is aware of Cai's true heritage. I imagine that if Castor were to ever be unable to, she'd be the one to tell Cai about his mom and history.

2) Until later levels, my canon Cai goes down the Ornius line. Ornius rider -> armored -> caladrius. In part 3, he's on horseback. Methinks he'd have a red Ornius and a monoceros just for cool points.

// Alright. *Rubs hands together* // 1) Cai has nicknames for his friends, Peter and Tialla. I think he's a big nicknames guy. He calls Peter 'Pete'. He calls Tialla something that I haven't come up with yet.

She sees that smile fade as realization sets in. She's been awake? They've all been awake? He sighs quietly, feeling a terrible sting of regret. ❝ Ah man... I didn't mean to worry you guys... I guess I just needed to go for a walk, y'know? ❞ A weaker smile returns, hoping to ease her worry +

❝ Yes, ma'am I did! ❞ A playful salute. He takes out another fruit, casually tossing it up and dragging it as it falls back down. ❝ Pollux, my stallion, just can't get enough of em'. Me neither. ❞ Holding the fruit to his lips, he takes a bite. ❝ What about you? Headed out somewhere? ❞

❝ Man, you don't say! Whooo... ❞ Taking deep breaths as he wipes his glistening forehead clean. His arms and legs ache with the sort of burn that brings you pride. What a good work out! ❝ Brigid's a pretty big place, right? Tialla told me about there once. You must be the best warrior there! ❞

It's the night after their most recent match. A resolute victory, as always, but a hard fought one. That night, as the sun is setting across Lake Baal, Cai's taking an evening walk alone. On his way back to the inn, he bumps into @inkfleeting.bsky.social... ❝ Oh? Hey Tialla, I didn't think +

Whoops- Did he smudge them? Way to go, Cai. That thought aside, the mentioning of her Gramp's books catches his attention. ❝ I *indubitably* think that's a perfect idea. ✨ Did ya learn anything new from those old battles? I don't think I could ever read through one myself. ❞ He smiles.
