Re: James/Neville
"No one thinks less of Al, or they shouldn't." Al had his own way of seeing things, and that was what was so wonderful about him. Frustrating sometimes for the person who tried to follow his thoughts, but he was still an utterly amazing boy, or man.
"No, teaching isn't his strong suit, but he seems to have found his niche now." Nevile smiled at the affirmation. "I'm glad to hear that. It's good to know Al has yet another person who appreciates him."
"Maybe not for Toby, but I give you full permission to spoil Samuel Conrad when the time comes. He'll have us to bring back down to earth."
He really didn't want to think about that. "I'm rather hoping by then his dance card will have been wiped out."
