"Unfuckingfortunately." Julian muttered under his breath. But it also upset him more. The seeming implication that Seti, of either of them, was sleeping around. Julian rolled his eyes. Sean was insufferable. And unfortunately his father, 'repairing a long done wrong'. Julian shook his head "You're pathetic." He commented sourly. But after a moment he had cooled down. Sage's words reminding him, circling around in his head still. He sighed, hoping she could wait for him. As Sean spoke up again Julian looked over "What the fuck ever." Julian commented. Not believing in such a thing. Let alone with the hatter attached.
"Blah blah blah. I doubt that. Asher lost part of his kingdom. He's hollow." Smirking, then, he looked a Sean, angry "All it takes is one wrong move, and I think he'll die. Sage will have won." He pulled away, amused by this thought. Sage's fight against all that was wrong was started with needing Asher dead. The others were weaker without that diamonds shithead getting in the way of their plans. But then there was his father, who was the next problem. Whatever he did to stop Sage. Send her off to another dimension. He was going to learn how to undo it! Julian promised himself this. Staring at Sean, he listened when the other went on.
Looking away again, he lift his head up "You can start by not implying I'm a bastard, and that your husband, who you also abandoned, cheated on you, creating me." He said. Tapping a foot, he let the silence spread between them, then. Then laughed, hollow, he shook his head at Sean's next comment "And what about it? What if it doesn't work? What will you do to me then? Lock me up? Leave?" Julian narrowed his gaze, sure it was one, if not both of those. Sean would choose, probably want that, in the ending. He was sure. As Sean spoke about his hare bloodline, he glared. Of course he knew all of this! Julian laughed "Are you fucking kidding me right now?"
Julian moved in close to Sean, cold, angry eyes locking onto the other "Maybe that's all just you! Huh? You leave, you coward, my aunt didn't. Seti didn't. Just you! You're the one that leaves. You choose to leave. So why don't you stay fucked off, hm? You hitting your retirement arc don't fucking impress me you old piece of shit. How many other families do you plan to abandon? Lost loves that you didn't have a desire to come back to? I needed you! And I got fucking this! And you tell me I'll be the same?! Fuck you! I'll never be like you. I'll stay!" He shoved Sean away then, "Because that's what you do when you love someone. You stay!"
He was tired of these apparent excuses, it wasn't really an apology, now was it? Calming down again, he closed his eyes, Sage's voice in his head even more before he could control himself. He had to focus on right here and now. Because, even if he was mad at Sean, for all the shit he hadn't done. He wanted a connection with his father. But he was still so angry his father waited his entire life, to decide to start one. Feeling cold, empty, Julian followed Sean. Staring at the mirrors, he listened to Sean speak of them. His eyes lingering on the covered one for a time. A sense, suddenly hit him. Sage's words coming back 'It's a trap'. She warned.
Julian pauses, his gaze following his fathers movements, paying attention to Sean's words, he squint a bit. Was Sean telling him a truth right now? Julian frowns, not sure "No." He then said before raising a hand, a force coming out of it, the mirror cracked before splintering apart. "I won't let you manipulate me against her!"
