While serving Crown Prince Xander, he built a new life for himself, hiding his grief behind charm, humor, and unwavering loyalty. Though known as a flirt and social butterfly, Laslow carries deep survivor's guilt over the world and people he left behind. He secretly practices dancing at night to honor the memory of his mother, Olivia, seeing it as both his greatest joy and his greatest vulnerability. Over the years, he has matured into a dependable retainer, friend, and protector. Beneath the compliments and easy smiles is a lonely survivor determined to treasure every connection he makes, because he understands better than most how quickly those connections can be lost.
