History: He was born as the eldest son of his parents and was followed by six sisters. Thanks to the influence of his mother and sisters, he has grown up with a great respect for ladies of all races and kindreds. His father disappeared shortly before he came of age and, despite many searches, was never found. Since, he has taken over the running of the farm and looking after his family members. He regularly drives off suitors for his sisters, convinced no one is good enough for any of them, until the eldest finally threatened him with an agoinizingly painful death if he drove off her current love interest. While he wasn't happy about it, he allowed her to make her own choice and is now good friends with his new brother-in-law. His mother worries over him and encourages him to do things for himself. It is because of her that he agreed to attend the ball.

Abilities/Skills: Hunting, Archery, Dagger Throwing, Tracking, Survival
Personality: He is a chivalrous gentleman through and through. He is protective of ladies in general, but especially those of his own family. He is very dutiful and alwasy puts his family first. He wants to marry and start a family one day but wants to make sure all of his sisters are well settled first. He is usually patient and calm but anyone who mistreats a lady near him is likely to find a dagger in their throat.

Non-Bonding Companions for the Ball: None

Meeting Notes (Written by Shard): There were lords and ladies, drunkards and dancers, gamblers and ghosts here. So many could be seen laughing and chatting or clumped up on the balconies, sitting along low benches with coffee or tea. Tanyl did wonder how any of his many sisters would have responded. Likely entranced by the music, swooning at the slightest hint of a flirt.

Remembering his sister's admonition, however, perhaps they weren't bad things. Eventually, as they all grew up and matured, he would no longer be their replacement-father-figure. He watched as several gorgeous clutches of dragons were shown off, but was very distracted. Odd - he saw a group of young teens excitedly gathered around an intimidating man, obviously not their sire. He encouraged them, and... even laughed when one of them punched his friend.

Would he have stopped that interaction? Was that what this odd vampiric man should have done?

Why do you keep second guessing yourself? No harm was done.

The hair on the backs of his arms and neck rose, "who... said that?"

I did, your Yanlaeju. My siblings are all meant to be with others, I would not stop them... Why would you prevent your siblings from their intended?

He glanced down, as a sparklingly white dragonet sat staring up at him. Not tiny, but definitely not the full sized type, but wise. Definitely wiser than a hatchling should be.

So are your siblings, the dragonet asserted. But they will always need their big brother, you know. I will always miss my not-family, it lifted its checkerboarded wing, but I will be all right with you. And you will be all right with me!

He pursed his lips together and had to take a deep breath. "I ... I know you're right, but it has been hard sometimes."

The dragonet nuzzled into his hand, I can help you remember to give the space they need. And you won't be alone either.
