Awwww, I love fierce, defiant, proud Esca, but ... Marcus, oh Marcus. That touch of "little boy lost", and his inherent nobility of spirit, it's just catnip to me, and a good, thoughtful, well-written exploration of his motivations is irresistible.
This is gorgeous in its imagery and detail, and I love the relationship you are slowly building between the boys.
Oh, oh, thank you so much! What a lovely, lovely comment ♥ :) I'm so happy you like it, and I'm absolutely overjoyed that you can see that "little boy lost" in Marcus. I see him as being someone who is terrifically competent in his soldiering and as a commander, but emotionally, he's stuck as that manchild who still mourns and misses his father terribly - there's so much unprocessed grief in him.
