Re: Regulus/Alex
"Think what you like, sir." Alex looked across the garden. "I just want them to take me for what I am, and leave me alone." He huffed a soft laugh. "They don't cry anymore. He's back. They're over the moon."
He shrugged one shoulder. "So, I'm trying not to care. I'm not interested in chasing after my own death. James is an idiot for that, as far as I'm concerned. And respectfully, sir, you don't know what they expect. Or what they used to expect. Or what, as a little kid, I thought they expected. I just know what I feel like now."
