" so you're going? " teddy's tone is conversational, but there's an undertone of disapproval there too; a quirk to their brow and a hardness in the line of their mouth. old habits die hard. for all that oleander is a grown man now, and for all his rage, it's hard not to see him as a junior β that brash, boisterous twelve year old that wreaked havoc with lila on hot summer days between term time. they peruse the last line of the invitation again then set it aside, lacing their fingers together and resting their elbows on the table with a soft sigh. they aren't spoiling for a fight, but they haven't ruled it out.
