Lucien and Asterion as young men. Lucien has just taken his younger brother to Jeremy and had him made a guard at House Jeriko. Aster is marvelling at the huge mansion in the city of Durean and the fact that he is to live there now.

This is before Aster decided to grow a moustache, and yes, Lucien is smiling properly... this is before Jeremy started to use him regularly.
