...So, I live here... and you live here, and she lives here—

Akibrus studied the other man, tilting his head to the side slightly. My secrets are Lyrics' to tell. He chuckled, shaking his head slowly. He was describing his thoughts; that he believed Lyric thought he'd be worse than he was.

Mmm, she was terrified. Her parents have never... they never approved of me, or of my partner. He rolled his eyes, You'd think being the head of the Circle would've changed their minds. But Rolan couldn't change what he was, he shrugged his shoulders. And neither of us had money we didn't work for. And neither of them had married Lyric when she'd gotten pregnant.

As he plucked a flower to take inside to study, he paused next to Tiberius, humming quietly. You have less to worry about than you think, with the legitimacy of Lyric's next child. He flashed a calm smile to Tiberius, I prefer men. Have only taken Lyric to my bed once, to see if I'd enjoy it.

He continued past the other man, twirling the flower he'd plucked between his fingers as he headed back to the house.
