The shock was clear upon the boy's face as he turned his attention back to Laurent and, in an instant, Damen felt what remained of his ire dissipate. For there was confusion in the boy's face too, and maybe something like betrayal. Damen knew exactly how he was seen in Vere, knew it was not without good reason. Surely, if history had played out differently, a prince who had done what he had would be equally reviled in Akielos. Damen could not fault the boy his reaction.
But he would not offer his friendship, at least not yet. If only in part because he knew Nicaise would not accept it.
The whole conversation felt one he should have no part in and Damen took a half a step back, his eyes darting to Laurent before he spoke. 'Do you wish me to leave you? It was not my intention to interrupt.'
