#shhh we don't talk about peerage right now

[sea-owl]

Wait I just thought of something funny.

So imagine Auggie, Oliver, Edmund, and Thomas being chaos cousins because that's what cousins close in age be, especially when they can just run across the square to each other's houses.

The older boys sometimes tease Thomas because cousins are gonna do cousin things, and then Thomas "pulls rank" because he's already a lord, and they're just heirs still! Though they all know that even if Thomas is legally the lord, and Colin is legally the acting lord until Thomas is of age, Penelope is the real lord of that estate. Colin just signs whatever she puts in front of him.
