- Maybe the whispers that had followed Hawel his entire life were wrong. Maybe his middle names wasn't cursed after all. Maybe the problem had always been the shoddy leadership of his father, refusing to do what was best for his people... Though Hawel had his doubts, waiting for the day everyone would decide to leave, he couldn't deny that he was enjoying the good while it lasted. And he was enjoying the people he met, the stories he heard.
Raid, Bane, and Georga had all lived together in the past. A cohesive unit of friends, they were all happy to have found somewhere to live. The sound of more voices spreading throughout the once-bustling castle town reminded Hawel strongly of his days as a schoolboy, walking through the streets and nodding at everyone he saw. He had no time back then to get to know the people he should have. He had no time for anything but learning to use his sword. He didn't even have time to see that his father was slowly building a wall inside the castle, shutting the royals off from the rest of the town. Maybe Hawel was too young to understand it anyway, but a small part of him wished he had made more of an effort as a boy. Silently, he vowed to make up for it by getting to know every single one of his villagers, regardless of how big Granseal got in the future.
Raid didn't talk a lot. Instead, he preferred to observe, watching the world without interacting with it. While Hawel couldn't quite appreciate the new Soldier's stoic attitude, too alike his father for Hawel's comfort, he appreciated that the demigod would crack a smile whenever Cricket would come over. Perhaps he was more suited to be with the animals. At the very least, Hawel was glad that Raid didn't shut himself away all the time - he would hang around everyone else, just not talk much. Which was much more than Hawel could say about his late father.
Bane and Georga were best friends. Hawel could tell from the moment they set foot inside Granseal that they were inseparable, always together as a brother and sister might be. He could tell there was nothing more than friendship between them, but their laughter was contagious. They were easy to talk to, and seemed to always have something helpful to say if someone needed it. Bane wasn't bad with Cricket either, a common bond that connected him and Raid, allowing them to form a quiet bond that Hawel couldn't bring himself to understand. Mentally, he had made a note in his mind to see if he could get closer to Raid, to understand the quiet Soldier better than he understood his quiet father. He didn't want to make the same mistakes his predecessor made.
Kai was young, but very sharp and very charismatic. He had an air about him that made him seem older, though in reality he was younger than Hawel himself was. When the new Hunter had first told Hawel how old he was, the king nearly tripped over his own feet as he did a double take. "But you... how... you're... what?" Hawel still shook his head when he thought about it. Balbaroy had pointed out that Dark Elves don't age as fast as humans do, but it wasn't that - it was his persona. Kai never let anything remain undone, making sure each task was done to completion before moving on to another. He was a valuable asset to Granseal, and Hawel quickly appointed him Head Hunter as he proved his worth time and time again, even in the very short time he had been in the town.
Darren was still an enigma to Hawel. He seemed to avoid the king at any chance he could get, and Hawel didn't understand it. He had tried to ask Balbaroy about it, but the adviser was as clueless as he was. He didn't seem to be quiet like Raid was, laughing and making conversation with nearly everyone... except Hawel. He barely even gave Hawel two words, even when the pair first met each other. He even had full-fledged conversations with Raid, Hawel noticed, and yet the Gatherer would not bring himself to spare Hawel even a passing glance. The young king made it his goal to figure out what he had done that might have offended the new villager, and refused to stop trying until he knew. In the end, Hawel decided that Raid would be the best one to try and talk to about Darren. Besides, it would give Hawel a chance to get to know him better too, right?
_________________________________________________________________________
Hawel stood back as he let Balbaroy assign the duties for the day. It wasn't anything ground breaking, and he wanted to show his villagers that Balbaroy held a position of power. Not that anyone had tried to go against his adviser's words, he just didn't want to command all the time; truthfully, Hawel wanted to sit back and let Balbaroy take as much responsibility off of his shoulders as he could manage. It was stressful enough trying not to follow in his father's footsteps and break the negative view that most had of Granseal - any help that Balbaroy could give was help that Hawel would take.
"Raid, you will be going out with Hawel this evening." Balbaroy raised a questioning eyebrow at Hawel's choice of patrol, giving the young king a nearly imperceptible eye roll. He knew what he was trying to do, and he had advised against it the night before. Leave Darren alone for now, give him time, the birdman had said. But this was one time that Hawel was going to ignore his insight, and follow his own instinct instead.
Raid furrowed his own eyebrows, glancing over at the king. Hawel had risen, nodding at the Soldier and ignoring Balbaroy's stare. "I look forward to our patrol," Hawel said, giving Raid a smile, which the villager tentatively returned, though the smile looked more like a grimace, Raid's features too used to his signature scowl. The pair didn't take long to get ready, and before Hawel knew it, they were headed out of the village gates, away from the safety of the walls, out into the wilderness.
The patrol was quiet for a while, both between the two men and between the borders. It wasn't until they had reached the furthest border, the halfway point of their patrol, that Hawel decided there was no better time to talk. "Hey, Raid... I have a question for you." The Soldier turned, giving a short grunt without really looking Hawel's direction. Hawel blinked, but took the grunt as a sign to continue his thoughts. "Darren. I think you know him sort of well, or at least better than I do. Do you... happen to know why he avoids me so much?"
Raid shot Hawel a half-glare, a warning glance that spoke volumes. Hawel nearly shrank back, ready to apologize for even bringing anything up, but he continued to look into Raid's glare, refusing to back down. Not yet. He needed some kind of answer. Eventually, Raid let out a quick sigh, rolling his eyes. "I'm not sure it's anything I should talk about." He said shortly, turning his attention back in front of him. "The guy just doesn't want to talk to you. He said it's nothing personal, trust me on that."
Letting out a sigh of his own, Hawel hunched his shoulders in defeat once Raid turned around. "Thank you," he said tiredly, wrinkling his nose as he tried to think of what he could do to get Darren to trust him. The tired king let the rest of the patrol pass in silence, hoping that he hadn't ruined Raid's trust in him, too.
Maybe he wasn't cut out for being king after all...
