Re: Regulus/Theo
"There is always room for tradition, or melding the old that works with something new and shiny, like a big bow," Theo said making a small face. "I can only hope some things persist. Like moving to rhythm rather than thrashing about," he laughed wryly. "Although there is room for all that too, its entertaining from the sidelines."
Theodore finished his glass and crouched down on his haunches, passing his glass to a passing elf and kindly requesting another. "Only if they are smart," he said playfully as he stood once more. "I dont envy whomever the spokesperson or persons tasked with that job is. I'd much rather occupy myself with more satisfying pursuits. But we all have our niches."
Theodore could guess where Regulus' mind was headed. In truth his worries were much the same but to a lesser degree, he assumed. But close nonetheless. "Too much freedom not earned makes people soft and pliant and easy to mold and manipulate. I worry what will happen if the wrong sort arrive. From a time when all reason has not been lost and madness is concealed with charm," he admitted. "Although," he said as he reached for the fresh glass the elf returned with, "I am a cynical by nature."
