Was he truly that dim? Maybe that shouldn’t be asked. Charles was utterly fuming now. Humpty would do something if Grey was being touched, licked, kissed and yet he didn’t even recognize it was being done to himself!
“You let them touch you! You’ve let them do unsightly things! You don’t even try to get them to stop and yet it’s terrible when that happens to me? That’s exactly why! You did nothing! I’m so sick of having to come in and point these things out to your sorry ass or save it!”
Ⱶ Immediate reaction was to retort, to tell Charles he was wrong, but the more he listened the more he thought about it. The other Earl licking his cheek, the Prince kissing him, various other acquaintances and strangers generally invading his personal space. Did he really do nothing to fend them off?
Ⱶ “I...I didn’t think they meant anything by it...” Goddess that was sounding like a sorry excuse even in his own head. But how would he possibly explain he didn’t see the harm that was meant, or was that worse? Though the man’s words made him think about their roles being reversed. “No, no...you’re right.” Shoulders drooped. “It was shameful, if it had been you, I might have tried to kill them...I’m sorry Charles...”
