RP post, family, wintergreen storyline

There had surely been moments that he had been in a more uncomfortable position than currently being unable to trust either of the people he loved most (for justified suspicions on both sides), but, sitting on his couch with tension through the entire East Side penthouse, he couldn't think of a single one.

Wintergreen in the bedroom that had always been his, likely still on the phone, Adeline braced in the space between the bedroom and where he sat, Joseph hovering worriedly in the echoing space between the three of them... quite the situation for the little Martian telepath to come into.

Especially because his composure was barely a pasted-over thing on actual his mental state.

But they needed the girl's un-biased ability to test minds, to be sure that neither of them held a poisoned kiss without knowing it.

Flicker of triumph at the reaction Wintergreen had not managed to hide well enough, though I attempt to ignore it. Permitting the girl to call me by the name I have refuted so often... it was petty, but I had not found it in me to correct her. Not right now.

That, too, will come later, if the man beside me on the floor is who he appears to me.
