Kyler's Links
Rescued from a place that could be called a "puppy mill", Papa Midnight was small and young when Kyler adopted him, just a pup, his eyes barely even opened. Kyler had to hand feed him he was so tiny and young. As you might have guessed, this closeness evolved into a bond that will never be broken, Kyler loves his vay and the two are almost never apart. Pops would do anything for his master, from keeping him company at the forge to pulling huge wagons for bulk orders of armor and such. They've worked together for all of Pops' life and he knows nothing else other than his love for Kyler and Kyler's love for him.
Papa Midnight is crazy in love with his master Kyler. Even though Kyler calls them partners and friends, they really are more like soulmates, destined to have each other's backs no matter what the cost. Pops and Kyler are almost never apart, even as the old vay slows down and his joints creak with exercise, he still follows his master everywhere, carrying tools or supplies or pulling a wagon for long journeys and bulk orders. Pops will do anything Kyler asks of him, which becomes his defining feature when their time together abruptly comes to an end.
Kyler and Bryn met as fierce rivals, both trying to outdo the other in a race to gain favor in the crafting guilds and community. But in their contest to find out who the better smith is (a contest that they continue to this day) they found that they were more alike than originally intended. They got along swimmingly outside of their work and even their rivalry was more playful than it was warfare. They attempted to merge their workforce, Kyler moved in with Bryn in Roenden and they lived together for a short time before a petty squabble sent Kyler packing and he moved to Thedale where the climate was more favorable. He regrets that decision and wonders if Bryn misses him- of course they exchange letters and such, but the distance makes the dragon feel cold and the dog writes like he's been slighted. It's not really going well for them, Kyler feels devalued by Bryn, expects the dragon do something huge and crazy to win him back and every day he is disappointed that Bryn seems to be fine without him. Whenever he is asked if he is single, Kyler says 'no' but the truth is probably darker than he wants people to know.
