Solstice Future - Montage Scene 1
This follows on from Solstice Day 3. Not immediately but you'll see what I mean.

What, and any of them do? Foo on them. Rune seems to be the only child any of the four of them has. (Only surviving child? Nothing so far has suggested that there were others, that I've noticed.)
I think -- I hope -- that Dagmar has the strength to heal, now that she's not being lied to and about.

At least Sebastian and Caliburn have lots of experience dealing with her age group from their work (and seeing how other people stuff things up with children that age.)
There aren't others. Caliburn is gay. Algernon, and I don't know if I've managed to convey it, is a bit odd. Sebastian, well, who knows. He's about to retire. He might yet marry a widow in her early forties and surprise everyone (including himself). Constantine is still the second oldest brother...

Yup! Foo on them, too. :)
Caliburn is gay or bi; I don't think I'd reached any conclusions about Algernon or Sebastian, other than "not currently married". When there is a line of succession in a major noble family at stake, sometimes people decide to or are pressed into making compromises or political marriages; I am a little surprised that none of them (well, the other three) had in fourty-something years. On the other hand, I would believe that Citrine foxed more romances -- or political negotiations -- than Dagmar and Constantine's.
Finding Rune twenty-something years later would have been even more awkward if either of the younger brothers had acknowledged kids!
