“Keeping in mind that I was hanging out with you and the dirty old man and our brothers and sisters. Nature and nurture, I was kind of fucked on both fronts. It was a matter of self-preservation to keep you guys entertained, and that was the sort of thing you liked. Sorry, like, present tense.”
Right. I don’t think that self-preservation accounts for everything, but the nurture really has a lot to say here.
“Maybe, maybe. And the drugs? When daddy had you practicing your powers, you ‘hijacked’ a few people at a time, used their bodies to get high with no consequences for you, you threw orgies for yourself…”
“Again. I was a kid.”
I feel like “kids will be kids” is a weird excuse for anything involving drugs and orgies.
“Teens will be teens” on the other hand…
“How much does that excuse?”
There was a pause. I looked at Alec, and he rolled his eyes at me.
“Ughh, just like she’s always been.”
Was he like Brian? His emotions buried deep inside? Or were they simply not there?
I think it’s closer to the latter, but I do think he has some emotions locked deep inside too, with the lack of emotion being partially Heartbreaker and partially a coping mechanism.
“What about darkness-boy? Want to talk about what happened yesterday?”
“Not really.”
