Last week I had the opportunity to sit down with the Grand Warlock. It seemed only natural that I approach Brogan to see if he’d be willing to chat. As luck would have it I found him lounging in the Duke’s Den.
Q – Brogan, thanks so much for this opportunity. I really appreciate the chance to ask you a few questions.
A – Okay, for one I didn’t agree to anything and you followed me in here. You aren’t a duke; this room is supposed to be off-limits.
Q – Sure, right. Whatever. Okay, so by now everyone is aware of your mate’s affection for sweets. How do you feel about cake?
A – You broke in here to ask me about cake? That’s not really a hard-hitting question.
Q – And yet you aren’t answering it.
A – Because it’s irrelevant. Cake is Dra’Kaedan’s thing and I’m willing to supply it. I want to make my man happy.
Q – Do you feel guilty about abandoning your family to travel around looking for your mate? And have you ever considered that your abandonment of your best friend has contributed to Aleksander’s desire to never leave the house?
A – How the hell did we go from cake to me leaving D’Vaire?
Q – There’s no reason to get upset.
A – You asked Dra’Kaedan shit like ‘how tall are you’ and I get this?
Q – Aleksander is a freak wherever he goes since he’s the only bi-color dragon and he’s relied upon his family to stand by him. Do you think your leaving contributed to his sense of isolation in the dragon world?
A – Yes dammit. I feel guilty. It was selfish of me to leave him. Is that what you wanted to hear? Only Aleksander truly knows how things throughout his life have affected him. He’s my best friend but he has always been the type of person who hold his cards close to his chest. Aleksander will also deflect and talk about everyone else on the planet before discussing himself. In the grand scheme of things, I wasn’t gone that long and we’d already been isolated from dragonkind for centuries. My king was already ensconced in the D’Vaire mansion when I started traveling.
Q – How would you describe Dra’Kaedan’s relationship with your best friend?
A – Those two think they are fooling everyone into believing they don’t like one another by swapping incredibly stupid insults but the truth is they do care for each other. Probably even more importantly, there’s a great deal of respect between them. I think they see the world in a similar fashion and want to know how they can help it.
Q – You were against the sanctuary idea but relented. Do you still have reservations about bringing strangers into D’Vaire?
A – I do. I always will. There’s no way to secure our family from being taken advantage of or unintentionally allowing someone into your home who can and will hurt us. But I can’t let those fears keep Dra’Kaedan and Aleksander from doing this. I know there are going to be bumps along the way and I also know we’ll be ready when they happen.
Q – You are so awesome for doing this with me today. I hope to talk to you again soon. Is there anything you’d like to say in closing?
A – Absolutely no promises that I will do this again. I’d like to end by telling everyone that I love my family and I think you will too. Take the leap and check out the D’Vaire series!
