Agni sighed. "My father was such a fool, my prince, that all I learned from him was how to be an even bigger one. I was totally lawless and uncaring, with my own needs and desires coming before anyone else's.

"Yes, my prince."

"But that doesn't answer my question as to why my father pay doesn't attention to me, Agni…"

"Because he is a fool like mine," Agni answered honestly as he prayed the prince would not take offence.

"I wish I had a son like you, my prince… I would teach him to be the best man he could, and that kindness and compassion are more important than anything else."

"Yeah…?"

"Yes… I learned that from you, my prince, my Soma…"

"The one that starts like this…" Agni said huskily as he leaned in to kiss him again.

"Yeah…"
