Tony | Sebastian(TRIGGER WARNINGS AGAIN)
Me neither in the end. I mean what worked was... Well, peace I found elsewhere. Ironic that it was what my parents wanted, no, isn't it?
I hate that I hurt my grandfather a bit, when it was starting. He died shortly before the worst of what I did but I hate that I brought that man any pain. And my parents, well, for all that they were not good parents, they didn't deserve the grief I brought them, but a better son. I wish I'd given them that, though it sounds messed up.
We weren't close, my brothers and I I was...if I had children, they'd have been in competition for the throne and that couldn't be. And we were different besides. My parents...well, I don't know they LOVED my brothers in the classic sense of the term, but they were proud of them because they met their expectations most of the time. They didn't have to take the time to notice usually. I'm sorry your childhood sounds...horrible.
Oh aye, it's a natural curiosity, I'd say. I've wondered it myself, many's the time.
I do, yes. Very much more than I think Aedan's able to accept.
Mine ought have stopped at the heir and spare. I was supposed to be a girl, I think, to get handed off in marriage but instead...there I was. I suppose we'd have known no different, if ours hadn't, but I get the idea the world'd be a bit less bright for some people without you in it. Barton, for the one thing, and Aed seems fond of you.
