Aspyn's Links
Beyond his initial feeling of guardianship over a freezing wanderer in a blizzard, Aspyn has come to view the Prince as far more than just a ward in the warmth of his cabin. He admires the man's courage, envies his culture, and feels protective of him as if they were of the same pack. He relates to Cyrus' exile, due to his own isolation from his people, and finds the companionship and the belonging in him that he's never really had before.
While they have not known each other for long, Aspyn is developing strong feelings for Cyrus, and prays that his fears of losing and/or being left by him will not show true.
Cyrus owes Aspyn his life in more ways than one. Ever since the kind woodman rescued him from a raging blizzard and took him in, Cyrus quickly found a kindred spirit in him. In his exile, the world outside his homeland proved to be a harsh place, but being with Aspyn has only reinforced his ideal that there are still good things that are worth protecting at all costs.
