"Goodness, son," Lucian said sounding somewhat exasperated, "What good is a Moonstone ring if you're not going to walk in the damn sun?"
"There's enough sun, here," Caius said with a shrug.
Lochxen used to be his reason out of the Estate and now that it was gone, Caius believed he'd be content to stay here. That was not to say he didn't have any drive for adventure. He had plans for various expeditions, but he just didn't have the resources to undertake any of them yet. And, at least for now, he was fine with delegating his tasks.
Also, if the speed of his advancement was going to slow down (because all his lovers were away), he might as well pour his all into making Alchemical Breakthroughs.
"Oh and on matters of staying home, I'd like to inform you that I've extended an invitation to someone," Caius said then while holding a finger up as though to say 'Lest I forget'.
That took Lucian by surprise and he leaned forward a bit.
"Who?" He asked.
