weep little lion man, you're not as brave as you were at the start

Dear my Windsor friends:

And other's, as well, though you likely won't be affected by this so...

I've contracted this common disease that many of you may have and its called procrastination... only now I've realised that it is really affecting my results at uni, and I need to do well in this exam (*cough* because my parents will give me money if I do).

You are all such beautiful people, and beautiful roleplayers, and I will return (well that sounded like a threat) whether it is will Reese (he will be reopened, I believe), or as someone else because well... I don't think anyone ever really leaves Windsor.

And with that, adios.

I used to be a sweet heart / I used to be all right / I tell myself I love you / but I'm creeping every night / when I met you at the party / and I told you you were pretty / I was honestly just trying to score / but you made me wait a week  / just to kiss you on the cheek / now it's breaking my heart to break yours

I said "I love you" in the summer / but will I love you in the fall? / I thought I wasn't like the others / guess I'm an asshole after all

tremble for yourself, my man / you know that you have seen this all before / tremble, little lion man / you'll never settle any of your scores / your grace is wasted in your face / your boldness stands alone among the wreck / now learn from your mother, or else spend your days biting your own neck

          I know that you were on my side, even when i was wrong...

Reese is his mother's everything. Literally. He was a surprise, but by no means an accident, and became the soul reason Margot fought her psychiatric episodes so hard. While there may have been times when this just wasn't feasible, it hurt her heart to see his little hand in her's and not be able to feel it, or hear his screams of laughter as his husband or an au pair chased him around the rose garden on those days that she couldn't walk.

But Margot always tried to make the most out of the short space of time she had with her son, and Reese had no problem sitting by her and watching whatever was on the television, nor tottering through her wardrobe to find her something to wear when she could go out. At a small age, he just understood that his mother wasn't like the rest of those that just paid someone to drop their four year old on their first day of kindergarten, but she just couldn't do that all the time.

She was good at mothering, however, and gave Reese enough of a lecture about how to be a gentleman when Reese had admitted how he broke up with Melissa. While his father taught him everything there was to know about being a gentleman and being an heir, his mother taught him how to be someone he could be proud of in the end; someone who deserved everything he worked for.

Whatever parenting Margot was unable to do, was left up to Austin. He'd lived with the disease that controlled his wife's life for longer than anyone, and while he may have been used to having people do things for him growing up, he wasn't about to let a couple of strangers father his child just because of his work. It was Austin who suggested the family move somewhere less commercial, and with less hustle and bustle in London, claiming that he could run a company from where ever the family needed him to be. That was the difference between how Austin was raised, and how he wanted to raise his son. He managed to be the mother and father for Reese, if that was what the little boy needed. 

It became apparent just after Reese was born--the toll it took on his wife's body was enough to convince Austin that just one was enough--that this was the sole heir to the shipping company, and that shipping company would not be allowed to leave the family. It was Austin that threw a ball around with Reese growing up, helped him with his homework, tucked him into bed almost every night, cooked dinner (often just for the two of them) when he was just growing through his childhood. When all the educational learning was done there, his father taught him how to be a gentleman, and took him to work if he needed to travel into London, how to study and how to get exactly what he wanted, as long as it was something that was needed.

Reese always had a strong appreciation for his father because of the fidelity he valued, when it would have been far easier to walk away and find someone else to love. It was the type of love he knew he'd always be looking for, a love of patience and kindness, and it was certainly not one he was going to find during school... it wasn't worth making the family business suffer just for a high school relationship, was it?

never had much faith in love or miracles / yeah I was dreaming for / for too long / there's no religion / that could save me / so let it all go / how did I read the stars / so wrote

and I can't believe / you don't know... / which way is right / and which way is wrong / and you should know that / it ain't hard to tell / you don't know / so come on

don't take me soon / cause I am here for a reason / sometimes in my tears I drown / but I never let it get me down / so when negativity surrounds / I know some day it'll all turn around

saw Cinderella in a party dress / but she was looking for a night gown / I saw the devil warping up his hands / he's getting ready for the show down / I saw the minute that I turn away / I dot my money on a pond tonight

change came in disguised of revelation / set his soul on fire / she said she'd always knew he'd come around / and the decades disappear like sinking ships / we preserver / god gives up hope / but we still fear what we don't know
