Twin brother, best friend. 

juste un petit peu ascendy

While Laverne never had quarrel with Leith the way he antagonised his twin, the undercurrent of his cynicisms laced in every other gathering. Be it over faith, or state, and family obligations, Leith had found his youngest brother's unspoken sentiments so palpable, his absence is only all the starker now. Unjustly, unfairly, undeservedly so...  

With sharp wit and tongue and fine magical prowess, Adel is as ideal a firstborn as any could be. Yet regardless of his appearance and intellect, he is still just as much a child to them despite being their lord's son and of authority. There's a peculiar balance in how Leith would follow his judgement and orders without question, capable as the young man is, and yet wish to shelter him from the same conflicts that necessitates those!

As reticent as he is himself, seeing the young Anya’s shyly unassertive ways struck a chord with him, coupled with a fondness for her as the daughter of a beloved figure. Yet the distances and her dedication to her craft he understood less, as if her living in the kingdom granted her another pace to live by, far out of their reach. 

In current times, he can only hope that she is still safe in her Mirian home, prison and enemy as it may be. 

After Virsche's incident, though aware of the nuances of change and the disheartenment brought about by careful handlings – gently smothering sentiments – Leith couldn't bring himself to remedy the case with familiarity, instead falling back upon an objective bystander's approach. Virsche is less someone to impose upon now in the ways the twins had done before, yet still gladly and always would Leith lend her aid in whatever ways he is able.

Leith holds Naevys' opinions, different as they are at times, in high esteem – and her character, teasing on his sensibilities, in great fondness. It was in befriending Naevys those decades ago that inspired more of his curiosity beyond the Delvan borders, however reservedly he acted upon it. Time offered fresh and dear insights, and in these current days of strife, her companionship keeps him grounded – both in comfort, and duty to reciprocate the support. 

Both drawn towards and fearful of Lorenzo's charisma, the twins had the most amusingly torn view of him. An ever present face of the Templars since their youth, he was all of father's friend, role model, terrifying drillmaster and gentleman's fashion advisor in one! 

But in recent years, they'd seen more of his shadows. Leith understands now Lorenzo's vitriol, the anger against humans, his speaking of a future's toils. A desire for righteous justice that no compromise could ever hope to quell... 

Though charmingly obliging and admirably pious, Carine's way of thinking – or at least his reading of her manner – astounded him, marveling at how simple (ignorant?) or staunchly compassionate she could be. More than his brother, he found it odd the way she stressed certain points when it came to her duties and supporting her fellows, but it was none of his business and she was young and impressionable, and maybe just had an enviably large heart to give.

Leith held respect for his squire peers, but to his displeasure it became apparent that Juli in particular was lacking – not in ability, but in motivation and with questionable efforts for her training. Eventually she fell out of service and sight, and it was nearly a century later that he realised the painter his mother resumed commissioning was none other than Julizia, now returned to Delverne. He doesn't press about the past... nor her interpretations in painting.

The twins couldn't help but be so taken by Lucen’s idolisation of their dear Vidame; at such an impressionable age as well, he made an all too easy target for banter and affections of a teasing sort. In current times however, while Leith would aid young Lucen where he is able, he questions his own ability to do so among the mounting failures – towards the boy's sister, towards their home... 

But now was better than never, to be a proper knight around the squire.

The twins found Lucen's elder sister charismatically nonchalant in the best of ways; perhaps a tad uncultured, and perhaps in need of revisiting basic etiquette and faith, but nevertheless whatever faults she had paled in comparison to her life's better deeds. Leith could only believe– however tentatively– that Sarain's homecoming was a testament to the surety of Aurea's path, after what he'd heard of her tales – for what else could explain all the blessings saddled upon her thereafter?

Being of the younger generation, Camille was more an acquaintance than an equal to socialise; the sunny face to Adel's earnestness, a darling child (adult as he may technically be) to be protected. But with the boy throwing himself into an oath and war he was never trained for, and subsequently met with the consequences – Leith keeps an eye out for him where he is able, if just to temper the void that losing family leaves. 

Leith had only ever been a guardian or half of mischief in Beatrice's Delvan youth amongst his sister's circle; unknowing of her circumstances, or their meeting at the Emerald Masquerade, decades later. But a last and final face-to-face in the razing fields of Cantor brought her views to light: Illegitimate bearings, cast out children and a stubborn denouncement of their Mother goddess... While they parted without further harm, Leith could only regret his lacking demeanor to convince her to return to the safer and just side.
