     Tommy and Tubbo sat outside under a tree near the O'khasis walls, waiting for Amber to return.

     "So, Tubbo, what's your deal?" Tommy asked. Tubbo gave him a curious look.

     "What do you mean? My deal?" Tubbo asked.

     "I mean, you said you were ordered to spy on Nahakra. What's that about?" Tommy asked.

     "My younger sister and I both live in O'khasis, at an orphanage. I was trying to find a job so that we could live on our own. I went to the job services spot, and there was an unlisted job with high pay. And all I have to do is send letters with information to O'khasis about Nahakra," Tubbo explained.

     "That sounds easy, but you said you weren't going to do that. Why?" Tommy asked.

     "I don't want to spy on anyone. That's not good to do. But O'khasis don't need to know that the information I send them is just things made up from my imagination, do they?" Tubbo explained. Tommy laughed.

     "What about your sister?" Tommy asked. Tubbo downcasted his gaze.

     "She'll have to wait for me. I'm just waiting out the time before I can return to O'khasis, with a large sum of money so we can leave," Tubbo explains. Tommy nods.

     Moments of silence passed between them, which Tommy found comfortable, but apparently, Tubbo didn't.

     "So what about you? What's up with your family?" Tubbo asked.

     "Uh, what do you want to know about my family? My father is the Lord of Nahakra," Tommy asked. Tubbo thought about it.

     "Any siblings?" Tubbo asked.

     "Yeah, I have two older brothers," Tommy replied.

     "Tell me about them," Tubbo suggested. Tommy was pleasantly surprised that Tubbo seemed genuinely interested in getting to know him. He didn't have any friends other than Amber due to his social status, which intimidated others.

     "Sure! My oldest brother's name is Techno. He's off doing hell knows what. He doesn't live with us anymore. Before he left, he was a guard for the village. A damn good one too. He went to the school in Bright Port that specializes in guard training," Tommy explained.

     "Wow, he seems insanely talented. Are you worried about him?" Tubbo asked. The question surprised Tommy.

     "Worried? What for?" Tommy asked.

     "You said you don't know where he is. So he's missing. Isn't that cause for concern?" Tubbo asked. Tommy chuckled.

     "With Techno, no. He's perfectly capable of taking care of himself," Tommy replied.

     "That's good. So what about your other brother?" Tubbo asked.

     "Wilbur? That fuck. He's into politics, just like our father. However, he looks nothing like our father. He has all our mother's traits. He's into music, bloody good at it too," Tommy explained.

     "Does he live with you and your dad?" Tubbo asked.

     "Yeah, why?" Tommy asked.

     "Maybe he'll play us something tonight when we get to your home," Tubbo said, full of hope. Tommy smiled.
