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.

Wintergreen looked at the boy he'd loved staring out from a man's face, one marked by pains and tragedies.

"Dear boy, I must go." There, pain in his voice, compassion in his eyes, but an admittance that he needed this retreat badly.

He'd never been able to convince Wintergreen to stay when he sounded like that, he wouldn't now, and he dropped his gaze to the floor, nodding once, shortly.
