AU/Flashback Fun: Paris, 1919
Lawrence gave a light sigh, rubbing a hand over his scruffy jawline. He had just come from the Peace Settlement and .... things were not looking good for Arabia. The British had, evidently, lied to the rest of Arabia -- they had no intention of trying to collect the tribes together and make a collective state. They had already begun sectioning it off, carving it up as if it were ... some sort of geological turkey. It was shameful.
And it was his fault, when it all came down to it. He was the one who had promised Feisal that they were going to get the land. That the tribes would have a chance at being together. God, he hated himself now more than ever. Before it had been a matter of his skin being white, of not being born Arabian. Now ... it was for the betrayal of his people.
He took another long sip of his whiskey and finished it off, ordering another soon after.
