[There's a chuckle from his end, amused by Cyril's unending compliments.]] Even this far you're still a charmer.
I'm doing fine... for the most part. I have to be extra careful about using magic here, and it's an ongoing upward battle trying to get on my new uncle's good side.
But I'm more concerned about you. How are you faring?
There was a lot going on. [Honestly there was always a lot going on with the Inquisition. Which was why he needed to get away while he could and reconnect with what was left of his family.] But I'm glad to hear you're doing something you want to do. What are you helping with?
... So have you found someplace else to stay then? Last time we talked you said something about the house being too big...
It's too quiet without you. It makes me feel lonely. And I don't want to feel lonely because you went to see your family, Sam. I want to be happy that you're there, that you get to see them.
[A pause.] So I went back to the Gallows for now. I'm still going to look out for your house, though. It's a very convenient workspace.
[Another short chuckle.] Well I'm glad it's convenient for you. ... Thank you for watching it.
I'm sorry that I'm making you feel lonely, Cyril. I feel bad because I promised I'd be there for you... but after Iskandar and Jim left... and Christine had so many worries about her mom... I couldn't put it off anymore. I missed my father passing away, my aunt getting married and having two kids... I'm just not sure how this war is going to end and wanted to make sure I at least got to be part of this while I could.
You don't have to explain this choice to me, Sam. I get it. I want you to
enjoy your time with them, okay? It's a marvel that you could have it at
all.
I know... but I still feel bad about the distance even if it is for a good reason. I'm lucky that you understand, too. The things you put up because of me.
I'd like for you to meet my family too, but... we'll have to take it slow. I'm sure the boys will love you, they're rather young, but my aunt and uncle...
My uncle, Terrin, isn't the biggest fan of mages so we're kind of stuck on that note. Relationships haven't been a point of conversation.
My aunt, Bonnie, knows about you. About us. Well... just the two of us. Apparently she was under the assumption that Christine was my lover? I corrected her about that a couple weeks ago and I think she's still processing. So I haven't elaborated... I think that might be too much for her to handle at the moment.
[There's a sigh on his end, disliking hearing the disappointment in Cyril's voice.]
No, I don't want you to visit as 'just a friend', Cyril. You're my boyfriend, and I want you to meet my family as such. I was just... I just wanted you to be prepared for when you meet them... and I ended up rambling and didn't quite say what I meant.
What I was trying to say was... Everyone knows you're my boyfriend, Cyril, but I didn't elaborate about our relationship including other people. So they know about Iskandar and Jim, but only that we lived together and that they were Rifters. That's just a bit too much for them to know at this point of time; my cousins are only 2 and 4, my uncle already has issues with me being a mage, and my aunt is coming to terms with me not giving her grand-kids... grand-neices and/or nephews?
Also, I would be very, very sad that after this long you would keep your hands to yourself. Also surprised, shocked and perhaps worried if you managed to do so. Though keeping the lewd comments to a minimum would be good...

Far From Home - Crystal
Date: 2018-07-17 01:47 am (UTC)[The voice is clear, but a little quiet. It definitely sounds like he wants to be heard but trying not to interrupt anyone in doing so.]
Anyone home?

Say, next month I'll have some downtime? Perhaps I can join you? I'd love to meet your family and that gives you time to prepare.
