"It is not often we are touched directly by a mortal who is suffering with their own emotions. We have many around us, of course we do, but it is a very different set of coping mechanisms when you or someone you care about it also involved. Luka is oblivious to the world he has accidentally stumbled into attempting to resume a closeness to his best friend who is like a brother to him. He is oblivious to our struggles, our coping mechanism, to the fact we sense his pain when, for so long, he has felt he had to shoulder it all himself. We cannot expect him to just understand our world and how we are built, in the very same sense we cannot expect to assume what his inner battles are because we do not understand his situation. Yes, he is hurting. Very, very much, and whether we like it or not, that is going to have a domino effect on all of us because were interlinked to Jett," Xavier explained, trying to put a spin on all of this so Greg could have what he needed to try to work his way through it.

He paused, meet Greg's gaze. "But do not for a minute think it has escaped my attention that you have been in Luka's position in the past, my darling. I have been busy, I know, but I have not been oblivious to the situation and all its impact. But I also knew you have an inner strength from what you faced so that you could wait until Seamus was okay. You can talk to me about what you are feeling."
