It isn't possible To never tell the truth But the reality is I'm getting away with
Admittedly the last time they had had this conversation Cepheus had had a great deal more to drink then he probably should have but it was either drink until it was unwise for him to try and apparate or he would have apparated straight to the home Europa shared with her husband and given the Prophet a reason to splash his face all over the front page. This time was not going to be like that time. He was as sober as could be and after giving it a great deal thought he was fairly certain that he had come up with a decent plan. Or at least the beginnings to a decent plan. If there was one person who could tell him for certain though if his thoughts were decent or if he was just being completely irrational it was Rabastan.
Under normal circumstances he would have just gone to his parents but this wasn't something he could go to them with or about. Europa was not only married and had a child but she was married into a high noble family. They would never an accept a relationship between the two of them regardless of the fact that there was now a child involved. In fact, he was fairly certain that his mother's head would explode and that was not something he wanted to deal with. Not to mention what would happen if he dared to mention marrying a divorcee. He would be disowned so fast that he wouldn't know what had happened until the dust had cleared and settled and he was truly left on his own.
No this was something he had to go to Rabastan for. He trusted his uncle and he trusted the man to be able to keep a level head and help him through this without judging him...too much.
It didn't take Cepheus long to make his way to his uncle's study, having paused along the way long enough to fix both of them drink and without knocking he strode right into the room, handed his uncle his drink and sat down.
