That alone was enough to earn them their place by my side on the day I'd take my vows . Calla was there with us , too , perched on the edge of a chair in the corner , her legs swinging as she bent over her homework . She loved school - more than I ever did at her age - and I couldn't help the pride that filled me just watching her .

" No wonder Fenra is doing so well these days ," one of them said . " Because all you young lads are so handsome . " We smirked at one another , exchanging glances that said we weren't taking it seriously , but deep down ... yeah , it felt good .
