He smiled watching her eat and speak. He couldn't help but laugh a bit. It felt like just yesterday he had visited the two as young children and now they were so grown up and ready to do as they wished with their lives. It was simply amazing. Eugene walked over and sat down giving a small laugh.
"I better stop playing with this thing before I end up losing an eye."
He then motioned her over to him.
"Ah not even Aldrich huh? You truly have a flame of passion you have there."
He then paused slightly hearing how everyone expected her brother to take rule. It was true, female rulers in this kingdom were not admitted or looked upon. Skill and survival was key and most woman did not wish to be a part of that. But he could tell that something was didn't about Zari. She had trained for so long getting stronger with only the hopes of ruling in her mind and it seemed that she was even winning Eugene over.
"Come'er. How about I tell you a story."
He said while siting back and letting out a small sigh. "Ohh this one's good too. This takes back way when me and your father were children. Quite the scandals we were." He said while smirking slightly. "Well we were two halves of a whole idiot!" He laughed a bit. "Well one day he and I decided to go and play with some other children. Back then we were all fond of playing with toy weapons. Well, there was a group of boy around our age who were playing with weapons and we wanted to join to. So we ran off and got our gear before running back. However, there was one more person who had showed up. It was a little girl. Daughter of a blacksmith actually. She had asked if she could play with the group but they all said no. So do you know what that little girl did?"
