"Oh?" Julian asked, his eyes looking almost wounded. "She won't, hmm? Because she and I get on so well and all. You don't think I can't tell she's disappointed that we're bonded? That every other male she's asked to be in her Court hasn't given her more joy than I have? Some part of me thinks she is my everything and wants to weep knowing that she can't stand me."
Then he was turning away, all anger and pride like sharp angles in his psychic scent. "Then why don't I try to be more like she wants, hmm? Why don't I smile and charm and worm my way into your little happy circle? Is that what you're about to ask? Why don't I stop being such a damn disappointment? Because I am clinging to as much of me as I can before I start letting her mold me!" His voice cracked, but he'd thank you very much not to notice, Jono.
