Barty had a much better day than he had first predicted he was going to have upon waking up. Evan was sweet, really, quite sweet. And at least his expectations on the day had been exceeded. Those of the previous few weeks were crushed honestly. Nothing was left to be done about that.
It was a long day though, and they had spent a large part of it rather...ignoring Theo, which Barty had been glad of in some ways. It felt more like...them. Luckily Theo hadn't complained about it. Barty gave Theo a little smile. Theo had been the main healer, and for all but the memories, Evan was in great shape.
"Best day since Tuesday," Barty agreed. And it was their first full day away from the castle. That was definitely a plus. "And thanks." It had been his calmest birthday in a long while.
