4th Wall Catch-All Post

[cladinthedark]

[Adding to the Fourth wall group posts here with Golbez, Arche, and Lyn!

Golbez is either sitting outside with a mug of tea watching people walk by, or heading over to check on the FF IV house, if it's evening.

Arche is flying around checking out everything ever.

And Lyn is hanging out around the barracks, doing her training.]

Yessir.

[Being recognized at random comes as no surprise to the child. Some of it is the self-centered nature of the young age and some of it due to always being recognized wherever he actually goes. He smiles cheerfully though and even manages a wobbly, but polite bow, just like he's been taught.

Those manners don't apply however in filtering his thoughts.]

How'd you get so tall?

[cladinthedark]

[The bow is adorable, but the question is what makes him chuckle.]

Good fortune, I believe. Certainly, my brother isn't the same.

[heroesheir]

You really are lucky! You're tall and you have a brother?

[He wants a brother too, but so far no luck. :|]

[cladinthedark]

Indeed I do. His name is Cecil.

[He's sure your parents are trying very very hard, Ceodore.]

[heroesheir]

[Ah but he doesn't know about the "try" part of that business. All he knows is that his parents are holding out on the siblings he keeps asking for.]

That's my father's name too!

[But bitty has not made the connection yet.]

[cladinthedark]

I thought that might be the case. Tell me, what has your father told you about your family, Ceodore?

[He's just going to see if he can get the kid to realize it on his own. It's kinda fun actually.]

[heroesheir]

Um... I have an uncle named Theodore. That's where I got my name! And he lives on the moon now.

My grandfather used to live on the moon too. [He lowers his voice into a hushed confidential:] But I'm not supposed to tell anyone about that.

Um and that grandmother is imposs- impass? something to please? But I don't think so. She feeds me pie and hugs me and says please all the time.

[cladinthedark]

[He chuckles fondly at those descriptions, especially the one of Rosa's mother, and lowers his voice in turn.]

Do not worry, Ceodore. I already knew about your grandfather, so your secret is safe with me.

[heroesheir]

[And there go his eyes wide as saucers again and mouth formed into a round O.]

You do?

[The wheels are starting to turn though. He's been told to keep that secret within the family but if this person knows, then he's family? Logic of a child at its best!]
