Breakfast with his small family had been pushed by his Mother, Nikolas hadn't wanted to do it. They would all spend so much time together as it was. But he supposed influenced would never be avoided. He just hoped Violet was right with this as he studied her interaction with Arenor. The future King and his child were not the only ones hiding how tense they were, only Niko grew up having to learn the skill so he looked at ease here.<br/><br/>The two older Caspian's shared a look at Alain's insecurity, but neither said anything leaving the task of soothing to Arenor. Violet would no doubt be quick to gain the childs trust and affection, and the twins would be relentless in making a new friend as they always were. No, the child was not the concern here. In time he will learn how to be a ruler, and how to govern properly. His lessons were simply more important that the twins, who will hold power when they grow but not near as much as Alain.<br/><br/>Nikolas relaxed a little as his time line for the day was accepted but it wasn't to last as Arenor asked his question. He raised a brow and looked a his Mother who looked back and gave him no offer of help. Mentally he sighed.<br/><br/>"That is Vincent Bramble, he is not a lord and thus cannot be on the Council. He is however the Captain of the Guard. So you will see him present to ensure everyone's safety," Niko explained and looked Arenor over a moment. "Is there a particular reason you ask," he asked with a slight tilt of the head as he pushed another piece of fruit about his bowl, too stressed to really think about food this morning.<br/><br/>The twins tried to make Alain giggle any time the adults were not looking by taking turns pulling silly faces, while the other smothered their giggles to not get caught.
