Who: Edgar and Ethan Bones What: Ethan finally learns about the Order of the Phoenix! When: After Ethan's journal! Where: Bones' residence, Edgar's study room. Warnings | Status: tbd | in progress
Edgar spent Ethan's entire life hiding the truth from him, in order to protect the boy from the devastating realities of the world around them. Edgar only ever wanted to keep his son safe, and now when the moment really mattered and the world was turning to its worst it felt like Ethan was in the most danger. He'd learned about the Order of the Phoenix from someone and Edgar was prepared to kill whoever it was. But, before all that, one fact remained. Ethan needed to know enough of the truth so he wouldn't do something stupid and get himself killed.
Didn't he deserve the truth, after all? So many years of vague answers and sometimes blatant lies about the past. It was time to come forward.. since it was already in the open enough.
Edgar sighed and took a seat in his chair, waiting for his son to arrive. It was a rare moment when they met this way. Edgar had been a demanding parent, strict in ways, but always loving... though it was a telltale sign something was wrong when Edgar summoned Ethan to the study room. Right now, his expression brooked no argument. He raised his eyes when Ethan entered and gestured to the chair in front of his desk.
