Alex was gone for most of the day yesterday, in meetings with king and country and its various advisors.
He spent some of the day curled up in Alex's bed, because that was the closest he has been to him since yesterday.
He managed somehow not to be bored out of his mind, although it was mostly because he managed to figure out a few bits of business from Earth for himself.
Two women, he knows, and one he knows very well how to find.
So he's pleased, at least a little, sitting almost curled-up in one of the more comfortable chairs in the sitting room, watching a fire in the fireplace that's only burning in his own mind, as servants or pages bring in a dinner for him.
He wishes Alex were coming to join him.
No doubt, soon enough, someone will remember to give him an official invitation to dinner with the rest of the Court. He is not entirely sure he is looking forward to the occasion.
