Oh. Yeah. An explanation for why the hell Arthur went for Lucius - in front of the children, in public, for an insult he must have heard the like of so often!

I like the positive approach that Arthur finally understands he needs to take.

[florahart]

Thanks. They clearly have some sort of angry history, after all, but that actual physical tussle seems sort of out of place for Arthur, so.

oh, interesting!!! Arthur's train of thought is very interesting and feels very authentic. And I adore Arthur playing ball with Percy and the other boys. :)

[florahart]

Can't you just see Percy, age five, hand-me-down little clothes all hanging off him and glasses sliding down his nose, trying to play ball with the bigger boys and totally sucking at it? :D

Oh jesus. What did Lucius DO? No, I'm sure I don't want the full answer...

*wibbles*

[florahart]

Yeah, possibly you don't. Heh.

DAYum. Ooh, that was awesome. And, yeah, aren't we all wondering a bit why Arthur took Lucius to blows over that, there in front of his children and a public bookshop. Even the film director couldn't quite allow it to happen, could he, not seeing why it should.

[florahart]

Heh. Yes. :D Thanks.

I almost missed this which would have been a damn shame because it's perfect. Exactly what was missing - I'm going to consider it canon now. : )

Heh. You mentioned B5 the other day and therefore when I looked at the prompt I had "hole in your mind" in my head, so. Glad to entertain.
