[Now that he had actually talked with Reyes rather than just screaming at the man and trying to kill each other, he could figure that Gabe was waiting in the wings for the internal war of Talon to commence to stay to work things over. He had no idea how it would turn out or if Reyes would survive it.
He also wasn't so certain how he felt about that war. On one hand, good riddance. On the other, he wasn't keen to know the answer to Reyes' fate at the end. That left him staring down his bottle uncomfortably.
That pollen experience had really messed things up. He hadn't expected them to be able to have moments like these, and he wasn't certain how to cope with the idea that they had confessed all their boyish stupidity of years past to each other. It made this possible, made how comfortable they could be again available.
Turned as he was towards Reyes, he picked out the subtle signs of those old struggles.]
True... you told me you loved me. That's pretty damn soft. [He took a drag from his own fruity drink.] And we're talking again. And you have a son again. I guess it's completely terrible. [Though the losses definitely were. Maybe a small amount of that old optimism was sneaking back in. He didn't realize he could still have it.]
