Title: The Noble Families Would be Extinct
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Summary: Lord Padraig has advice and perspective to offer Tobe.
Notes: Written in accordance with my head canon that Kel totally adopts Tobe and raises him as her own son.
The Noble Families Would be Extinct
“There’s no shame in being adopted,” Lord Padraig said into the chasm of silence following his question about if Tobe was being ridiculed by the other pages for being adopted. “Adoption is an ancient and honored way of ensuring the continuation of noble families. Half the noble families in the realm would be extinct without adoption.”
Half the noble families in Tortall seemed a high estimate to Tobe but he wasn’t about to argue the numbers with the training master.
“You may go.” Lord Padraig appeared to have forgotten to punish Tobe for fighting. “Put something cold on that eye.”

All these are excellent, but this in particular feels like history repeating itself in the best way. I love the idea of Tobe going for his knight training.

mistrali, thank you so much for commenting! I'm so happy to hear that you found these Tobe fics excellent since I do love writing about Tobe when the inspiration strikes, and I'm so glad that this was a favorite of yours. I did love the feeling of history repeating itself in terms of Tobe following in Kel's footsteps and training to become a knight.
