“Mm.” She cast a side eye at him. Sooooo kind.

"Are you going to tell Gaius about me?" he asked calmly.
"I’m thinking about the aurora borealis. You can’t tell if it really does exist or if it just looks like existing. All things are so very uncertain, and that’s exactly what makes me feel reassured." --Too-Ticky

“…I don’t know,” she admitted. “Probably shouldn’t, honestly.”

She looked at him flatly. Did he really think himself a fond memory?

He looked back at her. "Because of my 'mistakes.'"

That was irritating. She made her expression even more flat. “ ‘Yes.’”

Septimus was silent for a moment, then he walked back to the chair and sat down. "Death is funny," he mused. "It makes you look back on things differently. It shows you your legacy." He rubbed his beard. "I admit I'd make some changes, knowing what I know now. Seeing what I've seen."

Ky wandered after him at a distance. “…oh?” Questions seemed safer than opinions.

"They're broken, all three of them." He didn't look at her. "Cecily, Gaius, Michael. Michael can't help it. But he was the issue. I should have sent him away, given my children a better childhood. And I admit..." He huffed. "I admit I could have been less...difficult. But I did my best."

Ky nodded. That was the weakest of repentances… but she supposed it was something. She leaned against the back of a chair a few down from him, waiting for him to continue.

"Tomhas was an abomination," he went on. "He should never have been born, but I took him in when Brogan refused. I don't regret that--it took a little of the attention off Gaius and gave him a friend, at least."

He glared back, bristling. "You disagree? You think my wife deserved to be saddled with him?"

“I don’t think an innocent baby deserved your hatred. This was Brogan’s fault, not Tomhas’s.” She straightened a little.

Don't sit down and write because you're a writer; sit down and write because you have something to say. And if the sea of ideas isn't flowing, well, just tell me about your day.
