Re: The Chamberlain's Men: Hugh & Mason
Hugh raised an eyebrow at this, but it felt a little too familiar, if he were honest. Shame, check. Spotlight, double check. Allowance? Well, when your biological father bought you a house at the end of the line to let you hide, that seemed like a check as well.
"It's a very good hole to hide in," he offered, considering how much detail he wanted to slide out to a stranger. Had he always overthought every conversation as much as it felt as if he were doing these days? "Honestly, if we're doing brief responses, yours sounds remarkably similar to mine. So follow-up, shame and spotlight put aside, would you rather be somewhere else?"
