family/bond/relationships - Wild Roses, unknown

"So . . this guys runs pretty much this entire forest."

"Yup."

"And his half-brother runs the Crown Navy."

"Yup."

"Their father's the King."

"And their uncle runs the spy network."

"Nepotism much?"

"Well, to be fair, most of the nobility's run pretty much the same way."

"And the disaffected young men haven't risen up why?"

"Once they start getting footholds in the system it tends to sort itself out. Or they get eaten by manticores, out here anyway."

"Right."

"What sort of leather do you think your borrowed coat's made of?"

" . . . You're joking."

"They have quite the variety of predators. I wouldn't go walking at night alone, if you take my meaning."

(not what I was aiming for. May come back later and retackle)

Good outside view of the family, though. Kind of wonder where they're from, however...and how they got there.
