Rose looked at him. Watching his lip nervously twitch. Was he okay? Did he do or say something wrong? Then he smiled and pulled him into an embrace. He held Sophie protectively. Leaning into the hug. Watching the hand rest on their daughter's head.  He looks up at him. Tilting his head to the side. "Growing?" He echoes in confusion. Trying to figure out if there was someone else he didn't know about. Blushing more and nuzzles back shyly. Hearing the knock and watches Carlie entering with the large wooden chest. Looking at the chest. Eyes widening and lets out a cute squeal of delight as he saw the beautiful hand stiched clothing that was inside the chest. Hurrying over with Sophie. Holding her up. "Look Sophie...lots of beautiful clothing." He says in delight. Looking at LeStat. The man who took his first kiss and he let have it. He didn't mind as he was falling for the man he was now dating.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Ethan felt Higaru looking at him. His hand went to his neck and lowered when it found nothing on it. Looking at him leaning forwards. Shivering as the sensitive skin of his neck was traced lightly by Higaru's nail. "Specific birthmark?" He echoes. Hearing the soft and sadness. He looks at him. Frowning a bit. "Fallen...friend..." he echoes. Seeing the almost in tearsness and gets up. Forgetting about the game and wraps his arms around his friend. "Don't cry Higaru." He says. Pulling away and falls onto his butt in shock. "I was...kidnapped?" He echoes in a meek squeal. "Someone killed my father and kidnapped me??? Then how did I end up on the streets....living like I have. I don't understand." He says softly. Looking at him. "Does that mean we aren't going to be friends anymore?" He asks sadly. Tears in his eyes as he was caught off guard by all he was learning. "Someone snuck into the castle when I was three...tried to kill your father and my father died protecting him. I was taken hostage and kidnapped....I am sorry you lost your friend." He says meekly. Tears trailing down his cheeks.</span>
