I often think about that moment where lucien comes up to tamlin after the war and tamlin just walks away without a word because up until that point tamlin hadn’t seen lucien since he left.He’d spent this whole time believing lucien had betrayed him and he knew he was staying at the night court but now he’s seeing lucien for the first time in weeks and suddenly it’s so real.Lucien is right there but he’s not standing by his side like he has for years—no he’s standing across from him right next to his enemies,their enemies,the very same people who destroyed the spring court,and he’s on their side wearing their clothes showing everybody exactly where his new loyalties lie.He’s one of them now.And the betrayal is so blatant and the pain of it too deep that tamlin can do nothing other than walk away.
“Loathing simmering in his green eyes”. “The guilt,the devastation,flicker in that russet eye.”
