Neither did boyfriends you lived in a relationship with, though Cass of course did not say that. 'Oh really, I'll keep that in mind, thought the ducking does keep me in shape,' he said with a smirk.
'Bond? There is a bond involved?' he asked, trying not to laugh. He wouldn't be a very good friend if he laughed, only it was damned hard not to. 'So wife, kids, cat, redecorating...' he said instead, breaking out into that laughter he wasn't supposed to have. 'Sounds domesticated to me. Especially if she has enough power to kick you out of bed.' Thank fuck that Percy had never tried that.
He did stop laughing however as Miles went on, as that was something he did understand. 'Personally I just boarded up the place and tries to pretend it doesn't exist,' he said with a shrug, though of course he'd preferred to redecorate it. Or having someone like Lettie doing it as she'd offered. Not that it mattered any more. In his mind he tried to picture Percy living in a manor- failing rather spectacularly.
