"No, you can find another way, that's the best you can do," he snapped, because he was pissed off. James was the person who had always been there, his chosen brother almost, he did not want to face any reality where James wasn't a part.
He was still pissed, and his jaw was still clenched, but that didn't mean he couldn't be surprised. "Your grandfather's back?" he asked. "When?"
He shook his head when James went on though, because obviously he'd really thought about it and that was scary. "You're an arse, Jamie, do you know that?" he said sullenly. "You plan to die and leave me with the crappy reality and you don't even fucking tell me about it. What did you plan to do, leave me a note saying 'please tell my dad everything's fine?'"
