[He hadn't intended to watch. Once he realized Laslow wasn't causing trouble he should have let him be.
But it was clear something was on his mind- he had the same feeling from his siblings' retainers as well, but he didn't know them as well to make any assumptions. Maybe it was just nerves- aftermath of the war and everything that was going to happen now.
Or maybe it had something to do with the distant land Laslow mentioned. That he might one day return to. Xander had been honest in what he said. As long as Laslow was alive and happy he was content.
But... well, he'd be lying if he said he wouldn't miss him. Xander spent his life losing things. They were wounds he could function with. He should let him know he was there.
He *should*, but he didn't. Not right away at least]
