    Summary

    His hands are warm against Philip’s own, skin calloused and rough from hard work that weathers the body. He gazes into lilacs heralding the past, coaxing those boyish feelings to bubble up in his chest…

    Summary

    Philip reaches for the bottle of chamomile and breweswort and lathers a few drops on his hand before massaging it into the boy’s hair in gentle motions. He combs the boy’s hair with his fingers, trying to shape it into something familiar that tugs at his heartstrings. His brother has always styled it in a few ways, but often defaults to just tying his hair back as it is the most convenient. Philip twirls a lock of hair on his finger, and he distantly misses braiding this hair of wheatgold. Maybe he should tell this Grimwalker to grow his hair out.

    Summary

    Hunter spent his time in the library, when his schedule allowed it. He was an intelligent boy, and some of his skills rivaled those of adults. He was well-known as the prodigy wherever one might look. Children strived to be like the Golden guard, and their parents admired him too - he was a perfect role model, an ideal that was easy to believe in, a hero for those who sought hope and a slither of protection against the wild witches. On Belos’ opinion, he was a predictable boy and the worst liar of all his grimwalkers.

    Summary

    Hunter and his uncle have a nice little dinner to celebrate his birthday, sadly the boy's feeling a little faint afterwards.
    His uncle is so kind to lead him back to his quarters or so Hunter thinks until he wakes up in the dungeons about to be disciplined for a recent failure.

    Day 2 of Empgold week! I chose both Drugs and dungeons from the prompt list :D
