That night would be the first time Bennox would meet Owen. Having been saved by a boy not much older than himself he instantly became attached to Bennox. Following him everywhere and even learning some stealing skills as well. Though it wasn't often Owen sometimes showed kindness unbefitting someone growing up in the slums. Feeding a stray pet with his rations, helping a little girl who was starving and even bracing danger to protect Bennox. It was hard to not find him lovable. Eventually they became as close as family and Bennox devised a plan before they entered the Academy. Owen would be the blade and Bennox would be the hilt that handles the blade.
