{{ Ahhh, I hope the both of them are okay!!! and yeah, she did. His whole family actually. Rip;; }}
He grumbled something about a lack of privacy during wartime, yet complied to Alwyn's wishes and turned around to give the other some sort of dignity as he changed. Xzavier had seen enough nudity throughout this war to certainly last him a lifetime.
"There are four other camps besides mine that are located around Narnia. Our cause is not as small as one would perceive. My squadron, made up of eight soldiers including myself, are located in this camp. Each Commander has their own in each camp, including a various array of soldiers and specially skilled supporters of our rebellion living among each. Although we are currently in a war, there is no battle going on. I'm sure there will be one shortly." He murmured after a moment's thought, unconsciously clenching and unclenching his fists.
The idea of partaking in another battle both excited and terrified him. There was always the risk of dying, always jumping between the lines of life and death. However, Xzavier had to hide the fearful part of him away and push it to the side without much thought. He was a leader after all, and if his resolve crumbled, so would his military.
But fighting.. It gave him an adrenaline rush he could find nowhere else. His squadron often told him how much a different person he became in battle. Brutal and risky, he often plunged into things and thought about the consequences after. And although that wasn't a good foundation for a leader, Xzavier made it work.

((They are, my sister did manage to go to school today, after all! The dog is just laying in the hallway right now so he's alright Aw ( He must be really scared for the people he gets close to, then)) Alwyn listened as he dropped his pants, feeling glad that the other had agreed to turn around. He had a multitude of freckles on his legs that circled his calves and ankles, as well as on his knees and thighs before they finally faded out just above his hips, where he had pulled his previous pair of pants up to. He had them on his upper body as well, but they were lighter and scattered around his back, shoulders, and stomach, only some getting up to his neck and face. He was insecure about them and made that very clear with how quickly he pulled on the new pair of trousers. Relieved, he pulled on the boots before going to stand beside Xzavier; he had to admit, he did feel pretty confident in these new clothes. "Where am I going to stay during this probable battle?" His brows furrowed and he shifted uncomfortably.

{{ okay, true. but still !!!!! I may or may not have not even worn the glasses at all today lol oops yeah, my room is the COMPLETE opposite }}
Hoping that since he was talking, Alwyn had finished changing. However, Xzavier still hesitated before turning around slowly, inwardly breathing a sigh of relief to see the other fully clothed. He didn't mind if the other wasn't, war had shown him far too much, but it would just cause an awkward air to be brought between the two of them and he was glad it would be avoided.
He opened his mouth to answer Alwyn's question, but furrowed his brow and snapped it shut because for once, he didn't have a complete answer.
"I have no clue." He responded simply with a shrug as a frown made its way back onto his face. He utterly despised not knowing what to do. "I'm sure Saphina could bring you to one of our warehouses, but those are located outside of our protective border. Plus, she'd have to come back to help us. Her abilities often give us an advantage..." he trailed off in thought.
"Probably the most safest spot would be next to me, but that's also the most dangerous seeing as how it would be right in the middle of the battlefield."

((Oh gosh My room usually is a huge mess but somehow I've kept it clean? Idk, maybe because all I've been doing lately is drawing or watching videos))
Alwyn cringed at the idea of being in a battle and shook his head, a grimace on his face. "I'd rather not be in the midst of a fight when I have no clue how to defend myself." He could see himself being brutally killed within the first few minutes, even if he did have something to defend himself with. "It wouldn't end well." He said this with a shudder and shrugged on the jacket he'd been given, assuming that they were going to have to consult Saphina on this one. He ignored the scarf for two reasons, the first being that he didn't know how to properly put one on and the second was he was almost sure he wouldn't really need it, seeing as it was an accessory. "Plus," He continued, his eyes narrowing the slightest bit with what appeared to be concern, but what came out of his mouth counteracted the expression. "Who wants to die a virgin?" He snickered softly and stuffed his hands into the pockets of the jacket.

{{ so far, I've counted five soda cans. new record !!! I usually have eight to ten lmao }}
Xzavier just shrugged in response, Alwyn's comment striking a nerve. He pressed his lips into a firm line as he exited the tent with a brisk stride, letting himself meld into the commotion of the camp. He knew full well that Alwyn would follow, seeing as how the other had nothing else to do but comply. So he didn't worry about the other losing him, it was almost impossible to miss Xzavier's towering figure in a crowd. It was what made him so sought after in the battlefield, not just his ranking.
Any discussion about relationships often ended up with Xzavier walking away, little to no input made. It wasn't as if he had no interest in them, but he felt as if somehow, he would end up hurting his significant other. He preferred to just not take the risk, seeing as how his decisions had led to the death of his family. Relationships were pointless in war; in life. They were a weakness that cannot be contained.
He broke himself from his thoughts, inwardly scolding himself that now was not the time to act so miserable. There would be a time for that after the war was over. Right now, he needed to focus on Alwyn, not himself.

((I used to have a bit of an obsession with energy drinks so I would have cans just laying around- at one point I literally had over fifty. It was terrible))
Alwyn was disappointed when Xzavier just walked away, he had thought that his joke was funny. He sighed and followed the commander, hands still in his pockets and a pout on his face. He usually only got these reactions from his mother and older brother, so in his mind, he quickly placed Xzavier as the 'mother hen' type of person. He opened his mouth to say something along those lines but was suddenly distracted by the gleam of a sword being polished around the corner by what looked to be an old centaur. He stopped briefly and looked at Xzavier before he moved toward the centaur, deciding that he would find the commander again later when he was done being sidetracked. He stared down at the sword when he arrived and greeted the centaur, to which the other replied with a weak grunt. The reason he'd been attracted to the weapon was that he actually felt safe inspecting it, mostly because the one tending to it was older and not Xzavier. He'd only ever seen them in movies, so seeing one that was actually used in battle was just a cool concept to him. The blade was a dark grey, nearly black, with stains of what seemed to be blood on the hilt, which had an inscription carved into it in what Alwyn believed to be a language of the land. He asked what it meant and only got another grunt, which made him scrunch his nose in dissatisfaction. ((Sorry that was badly written, my hands are cold and I'm not in the best mood at the moment)

I've been working on cleaning up today but I'm kinda worried about my cat. He's extremely grumpy late which is very unlike him so,, yeah. I'm probably getting my wisdom teeth out this week but there's no saying for sure, so if I'm gone for a few days that's why)
