Gloxinia sits on Camelot's castle roof, his focus on a flower beautiful and blooming resting in his hand. in fact he was so focused that he didn't notice Drole coming up behind him.
"What are you doing?" Drole questioned, Gloxinia quickly closed his hand, tensing up
"Nothing" he responded a bit to quickly. of course Drole knew that wasn't true.
"Gloxinia, what are you doing?" Droles tone was fierce, not openly rude but subtly intimidating, Gloxinia knew he wouldn't back down so he simply turned around, looking Drole right in the eye despite the cloth over his face
"You can't tell anyone about this, got it"
"Right, this never happened".

Gloxinia slowly held out his hand opening it and revealing the flower, it's roots now slipping in between his fingers the petals so large it was surprising they could fit in his hand
"It's fairy's magic" Drole said, confused
"Yes, but I haven't been able to use my magic so effortlessly in almost 2,000 years" Gloxinia explained, his eyes trained on the flower, still growing in his hand
"What does that mean?"
"I don't know, but I know that fairy king has something to do with it"

"Do you think he's trying to tell you something?"
"I doubt it, he didn't seem to have good enough handle on his magic to be able to do that"
"How does he have something to do with it then?" Drole moved his eyes from the flower to Gloxinias face, which was a mix of confusion, fear and sadness
"I- I think he told my sister about me"
"Your sister.... Gerhard right?"
"Yeah, she has a good enough controls of her magic to do something like this" Gloxinia pursed his lips "but she's supposed to be dead"

"There's only one way to find out"
"What?" Gloxinia finally stopped looking at the flower and looked up at his partner's face, his own face a mask of confusion
"Let's go to the fairy forest"
"We can't just do that" Gloxinia flew up to be eye level with Drole "we're part of the 10 commandments remember?"
"I know you want to leave too" Gloxinia was caught off guard, dropping the flower
"H- How did you...?"
"I can read you like a book Gloxinia, we've know each other for almost half a millennium" his smile, though covered was obvious to his best friend. Gloxinia looked down.

"Are you serious Drole" his tone was no nonsense "your willing to leave the Ten Commandments with me?" The smile disappeared off of droles face, he held up his hand for Gloxinia to land on
"If you leave, I'm leaving with you. If you stay, I'm staying with you. Even if you die, I'm dying with you" Gloxinia looked up, Drole continued "no matter what I will always stand next to you"
Gloxinia looked away, his cheeks turning a light pink
"Drole...."

"Yo" Estarossa walked up onto the roof, Gloxinia and Drole both started, Gloxinia flying upwards and Drole pulling his hand back down
"sorry, did I interrupt something" Estatossa giggled "Zeldris wants the two of you to go check out the forest to the East"
"We can do that" Drole stated, simply
"Cool, we need you to be there by tomorrow afternoon"
"We can leave now"
"Okay, I'll tell Zeldris" and with that, Estarossa turned around and walked down the stairs.

"Drole" Gloxinia kept his eyes locked on where Estarossa had stood
"Hm?"
"Do you intend to abandon our mission and go to the fairy kings forest?"
"Do you intend to abandon our mission and go to the fairy kings forest?"
"I don't want to stay in the fairy kings forest"
"What?" Drole turned to Gloxinia
"I think the current fairy king and his giant companion could use some training" Gloxinia, turned to the giant his eyes saying more than that sentence alone
"I see, do you want to pick them up?"
"Yes, that way I can check if my sister is alive"
"Let's go then" and Drole turned to leave the city followed by Gloxinia
