Rose looks at her. Flushed a bit. Nodding his head as he watched her. Rocking Sophie until she fell back to sleep with a tiny fist in her mouth as much as she could get it. He looks at her. Watching her dig around. Gaspig at what she pulled out. It was...beautiful. "That is a beautiful dress." he says in awe. Watching her dig around again. He really liked it too. Walking closer and looks at it. Nodding his head and puts the other dress down. "Could you put it on her changing table? I really like it. You have good taste. You can help me learn to be as good as you. Would you mind helping picking out Sophie's clothing for the next day?" he asks shyly. Looking at her and smiles. "I think you have a very good fashion sense." he says. SItting on the made bed and looks at her. "Would you like to be friends with me too Carlie?" he asks. Looking at her hopefully. "I think you asked that earlier." he says with a slight laugh. Standing up and puts Rose tenderly and gently down in the crib. Tucking her in with her bear next to her. He sits on the bed again. "My name is Rose. I don't think we were formally introduced."<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Ethan looks at him and had just given him a knowing look at the first part. "Well...you always make sure I am happy. Even though you are king you made sure I was happy and able to take care of the other kids." he points out. "You were unknowingly helping your friend's son out." He added. Watching him and almost laughed at the way he turned deep red. He blinks and looked down. He just sort of stood there and he fought the tears that kept falling down anyways. Eeping in surprise as he was pulled into a tight and clearly loving embrace. Eyeing Higaru studyingly. He found himself leaning into the hug. Burying his face in his friends spice scented chest. He looks up at him quizzically. "You are here because you have the will to do so." he says softly. Looking at him searchingly. "I do?" he says softly. Lowering his gaze into the chest level again. "You never want me to leave...I don't understand Higaru...what are you saying?" He felt his chin lifted and looks at Higaru. Blushing slightly. "That is good...that you are fully happy now." he says softly. His tears stopped flowing leaving his eyes sparkling. "So that means...I am sixteen...not fourteen like I was led to believe...doesn't it? It has been thirteen years...." He says. "I am glad to know I had family and that I actually meant something."</span>
