...he and Sypha know how to deal with Trevor's alcohol consumption. As long as it's just the bottle between the two of them and then a dinner wine, it's fine.

And yes, if our Netflix subscription and various art house streaming subscriptions didn't tell you, I do enjoy movies. Nearly as much as my mother and I enjoy watching my father complain. We used to see a film, place bets about what he'd complain about, then take him out to see who'd win.

And there's a very thin, pained smile from that memory too. Ever since his mother's medical liscence was revoked it has been...fragile, back at the castle. Hard.]
