sorry I left this for so long. wanna wrap up? you can PP him stalking off in your next post

He doesn't like the young man's body language, but there's not much he can do save for lash out in anger--and besides, beating up Alarian's new boyfriend wasn't exactly the best way to curry favor with his long-lost brother. He settled for an irritated snort, nodding tersely at Samothes' sentiments. Perhaps when he and Alarian were on better footing, he could speak his mind.

"Thanks," Zamael said gruffly, looking toward where the man had gestured. "Northeast, you said. About how far, do you know?" Not only was he curious in a physical sense--he was tired, and ready for a long rest--but he needed ample time to brace himself for the shitshow that could go down. Either Alarian accepted him with an open heart, or. . .

Or he had never forgiven him for running away, so long ago. Honestly, Zamael couldn't blame him if he hadn't.
