Slavery, 66
Greg had been wondering how Darby had so much energy from the moment they’d met, and he was still wondering that, but he felt like he had at least part of an answer now.
Darby napped at least twice a day. After meals, usually. He was having his post-lunch nap in preparation for their leaving Pelican Bay soon. Greg had gone to sit in Gavin’s room initially, but not quite an hour ago Gavin had had Pax visit him and it had made Greg feel funny being in there, so he’d come back in here to sit with Darby while he napped.
They were leaving Pelican Bay soon. He was leaving with Gavin and Owen. Like part of their family. They were just…letting him do that. Greg was…happy about that. Content. He felt like he could learn how to be happy with them. Sylvester and Roderick were coming too, hired by Gavin to work for the prince.
Gavin said it was because he wanted their help, but Sylvester seemed pretty sure it was because Greg wanted them around. Greg…didn’t know what to make of that. It was such a nice thing to do. It almost hurt, how nice it was.
