[ He's never heard Claude say a word about where he'd spent his youngest years. He'd heard all the scandalized gossip, of course, when he'd just shown up in the Alliance, the Duke's new heir, and had always wondered about how that had come about. But it wasn't something Claude talked about, ever. And he knew all about pasts you'd rather leave buried and forgotten. He didn't know if it was the same, but he didn't feel right prodding into it, either.
So he'd waited for Claude to bring it up in his own time, if he wanted. And while this was close, he focused on the time period Claude's really addressing here, no matter how many more questions his statement had raised.
He pulls his gaze away from the sea to find Claude watching him, that faint hint of a smile playing about his lips. He searches his face, his expression thoughtful and curious. ]
Did it ever come to feel like home to you? House Riegan, the Alliance? The Deer?
