In a stroke of fortune alongside that tragedy, when the nobles overseeing that land arrived to assess damages and decide on what to do next, they brought along their son, Destin. The noble child had been sullen for months (his brother having died of the same illness that claimed Xote's parents), but meeting the young donkey helped to bring him out of his shell, the two getting on very well together. Seeing this change in their son and feeling for the poor orphan, the boy's parents adopted him into their household. |

Still, while Destin and his adoptive parents grew to love Xote as family, he grew up acutely aware that many looked down their muzzles at him. Both within his house and at gatherings of other nobles, many regarded him as a novelty, a walking joke, or worse. Aside from giving him sympathy for other commonborn, this sparked his burning desire to prove them all wrong -- to prove himself worthy of the noble legacy that had taken him in. He threw himself into his tutelage and training alongside his brother and the other Chauveau youths. While he never distinguished himself as a scholar (that was more Destin's specialty), he honed his skill with a blade to a very impressive degree. |

At first, the two frustrated one another, each thinking from first impression that the other was arrogant and playing a frivolous game. If nothing else, a few clashes taught them to respect each other's skill in combat. Over the years, this rivalry waned; the two came to better understand one another. Both felt somewhat out of their depth in social situations and frustration at their circumstances, Xote from the casual disdain at his low birth and species and Celeste from the firm expectations that she comport herself as a proper lady. They began to enjoy their time together more and more. Perhaps too much: they've recently realized just how smitten with one another they've become. And painfully aware of how the gulf in social standing complicates any courtship. |
| − | But there are other pressing matters for Xote. While House Chauveau's finances have seen some improvements in the past few years,* there remains a lot of pressure on everyone in the household to find and earn additional revenue where they can.
