Late one night in the dwarf Altessa's house, two young half-elven boys were hunched over a table with many books, appearing to be studying. Originally there had been a human at the desk as well, but he had wandered off some time ago.
One of the boys with hair of silver sighed and tried to get the one of gold to reply to a question.
The other simply deflected it. "Even if I tried... I don't think I'd get it..." Mithos sighed dramatically, "after all I'm not nearly as smart as you."
Genis rolled his eyes. "Whatever Mithos, you just don't want to think about it."
"That's not true!" Mithos exclaimed, leaning over the boys homework, pointing to the question the younger Sage was asking him about. "I just have never studied summon spirits before!"
"But you had a flute that could summon Aska!" Genis shouted. "How could you not know?!"
"Genis... don't shout." Mithos said with a wince.
"Ah... sorry... it's just that flute..." Genis sighed. "You seem to know a lot, and have a lot of connections."
"Do I?" Mithos asked with a tilt of his head. "I'm just another half-elf."
"Not to me!" Genis said with a chuckle.
Mithos seemed to be trying to figure out whether to be shocked or embarrassed. "Genis... I uh..."
Genis just continued smiling. "You're my friend Mithos, my first half-elven friend! I was so happy to meet you!"
Mithos turned scarlet, and quickly turned his head away. "Ah... well... Genis, you're special to me too!"
"Thanks Mithos!" Genis exclaimed, turning back to his homework. "I just wish I could figure out the history of Gnome... or get your help on it..."
"But I really don't know Genis." Mithos said, tilting his head back. "I don't go on your grand adventures... and I haven't really learned anything outside Ozette."
Genis nodded. "That must have been really hard."
"Ah..." Mithos said, turning his eyes downward.
Genis put his hand on Mithos'. "You're not there now." He said with a smile.
"Yeah!" Mithos smiled widely. "So, do you want to go outside and play?"
"But I've got to do this homework..." Genis said, eying it.
"I'll help you do it when we get back!" Mithos said, pulling him up. "Come on!"
"O... Okay!" Genis said. "But I thought... you didn't know anything about summon spirits."
"Well... I might know something..." He said sheepishly. "Now come on!"
Genis sighed exasperatedly, getting dragged along. "Geez Mithos! I knew you were holding out on me."
