Oooh, siblings!!! And gosh, they seem like reasonable (for children) little guys too. The intrigue of who, how, and why it was decided Morenna would be exiled to a tower grows.
First impressions on each sibling:
Ophia: Oooh, I like her. She seems to thrive on upsetting the status quo, so I think she and Morenna could wind up as co-conspirators.
Rakkan: Seems to be an easy ally, easy-tempered and willing to play into Ophia's jeering rather than become aghast or start an argument. He may not be his father's favorite, but his temperament has primed him to thrive in his own social sphere.
Aldan: Quiet, but makes an impression with his one statement being to chide the second-eldest sibling for quibbling amongst them.
Espa: Also quiet, but gives the impression of one eager to lean. I look forward to learning more about what she already knows, and how she uses that knowledge.
Uthien: Quiet, but doesn't seem to be in the least bit shy. When he spoke, he got directly to the heart of the matter and was bold enough to suggest a direct contradiction to the professor's plan rather than just mock him like everyone else. He may not be the eldest prince, but he seems to possess the most leader-like qualities out of all of them from this small snippet.
Vanerra: Didn't say a word. As the youngest, is she overwhelmed? Trying to be respectful? I hope to see her get fleshed out in a later chapter.
