Family… it had been such a sore topic while Alrai had been growing up. His parents had not handled having a hallowed child well and the fact that the stone had been already partially imbued when they got it… Well suffice to say that Alrai was happy to have gone to the academy to get away from them. He had the support of his little brother Alioth and that had been enough for him. However life had gotten lonely and he kind of wanted that family. He wanted to see what it was like, which was probably why he had agreed for Araceae to live with him, and why he had eventually gone to that Mixer. Arinas… Arinas was practically his world. The child was a breath of fresh air and it had been amazing to watch Arinas grow up and find their way in the world. However he felt somewhat bad, while Arinas got along great with Araceae’s children, he felt like his family should be bigger. He wanted Arinas to experience what it was like to have the support of a sibling, or siblings. True Arinas did in fact have a brother but he saw his other son and Aellys so rarely that Alrai felt horrible. He wanted to try again, but do it right this time.
He was ready to imbue again. To experience the joys of watching a small person develop and gain their own personality.
