WHO: Cullen, Puppy, a four three year old prince, and you
WHAT: commandering
WHEN: whole month
NOTES: So, yeah, Cullen is just basically collecting small cute things. Newest one is a prince from the Anderfels.
It's a little unsettling how much overlap there is between caring for a small child and caring for a dog. Unsettling, but it works for Cullen. He has vague memories of being this age. he knows what he wanted, and while the circumstances were very different from Baldewin's upbringing, he figures at the heart of things, all children are probably the same.
He lets the boy play with Puppy. They two are contented to spend massive amounts of time together. While the boy is less thrilled to be stuck in Cullen's office all day, he understands that this is where he needs to be. Of course, big sad eyes and repeated pictures drawn for the man of the three of them playing in grass and surrounded by trees and rocks and other people does tend to wear him down. Some work is portable. Cullen can be seen in courtyards quite often, a small box of work at his feet, and Baldewin and Puppy playing within his line of vision. You don't have to come spend time with all of them, but if you're around for long enough in any capacity, chances are the tiny prince will draw you a picture.
Young boys also get dirty. Very dirty. Very often. Even exiled princes, it seems. Perhaps especially exiled princes, free from the shackles of the title and able to enjoy their childhood for the first time. There's freedom that comes in shedding the mantle of royalty. If you see Cullen at the hot springs during the day, he will most likely be sitting near the a shallow area in some cloth trousers bathing the day's dirt off of the little boy. Puppy will try to help. Puppy will not actually be much help.
He still goes to the hot springs late at night for himself, though now these trips no longer involve Puppy. Whenever Cullen is not with them, Puppy has been tasked with watching after the prince, and is taking his new role as royal guard dog very seriously. ANyone attempting to approach the sleeping child is going to get a chunk taken out of them by a mabari. Not figuratively.

daytime hotsprings
"Whoops!" Setting him down on his feet, she ruffles the little boy's hair. "Hello, there."

The dog has not stopped running, and has just jumped into the literally hot water, expecting to be followed. This is how they get the child clean, after all. Liberal application of water and soap. He has a soapy cloth. He has the water. Now all he needs is the child. His solid body hitting the surface sends up a massive splash, getting everything within a few feet of the lip of the spring wet. Baldewin laughs and wipes hair out of his face, scurrying to the edge of the pool to make the attempt at climbing in. "Come on! We have to catch him."

Pamelia sputters, and laughs. "Carefully!" Obviously this boy's...people, person, whomever, will come looking for them soon but she can't just let him wander off on his own, not when he nearly smashed himself on the rocks already.
Also he is very short, as small children are. "What is his name, Baldewin?"
