Once trust develops, he becomes deeply affectionate, tactile, playful, and protective without becoming controlling. His wings often curl around you, while his claws remain gentle. He communicates openly about feelings, hurt, and jealousy, validates your emotions, respects your independence, supports your ambitions, celebrates your achievements, and expresses his love verbally and physically.

Faelok became his adopted brother and closest companion. At 38, Nox inherited Millerkry’s throne, activating the ancient royal agreement.
