So apparently when life gets rearranged and I earn free time I didn't think I'd have, I get impulsive. So here is Alyosha, the adorable cuddly spawn of the former Ace of Spades. Because that doesn't sound like a bad plan that sounds like a good plan.

Aleksei is a super new arrival to Spades, and is generally a charming normal 16-year-old boy from Outside who's been sent here to get trained up to be a Spade. More about him here, but clearly CR is going to be made shiny and new.

Yes. Just. Hi again.

These are things he excels at. Being a likeable person not so much, so he might need another tutor for that one.

HE'S JUST SO PRECIOUS. I wonder how long it'll take her to notice. Maybe Victor will notice first.

Aleksei will probably be fine. He's not naturally unlikable. (Clearly he gets it from his mother.) But having someone get better at Spade-ing would be delightful. \o/

Which would clearly end well. So well.
Maybe Jordan can also teach him to be smooth. :|a

SO VERY WELL. Except I imagine Victor will mostly be amused. Probably.

Jordan is rather good at smooth. :|a

Amused and whatever the exact opposite of threatened is. Those.

Teach him the ways of surviving 15-17, Jordan. He's got the voice-cracking problem solved but still with girls. HOW.

[headfollowheart]

Exactly those things. Easy when one's 22 year old wife is madly in love with one.

15-17 is a bitch. But pretending you don't care is a good place to start. It does not serve as well when you're 27.

Can you hear the happy shipper screams in the distance. Silent, clearly, because Chives is good at silent, but.

This is a thing what will need to be taught. :|a

[headfollowheart]

I CAN HEAR THEM because I have a dog's hearing for these things.

Sit down, young grasshopper. He'll give you tips over dagger fighting.
