I don't especially like this concept I am being given "permission" to remain friends with him. I did not pull away from him on your account, I did it because I suspected he was going to start disliking and avoiding me on his own as a result. I was proven correct from the manner he spoke to me when I tried to contact him. Instead of cooling off he at once got in my face.

It's not about me giving you permission.
It's his choice.
I'm just not going to be supportive of someone I know is upsetting him.
I don't know how he's talking to you and I don't care.
I know he can be abrasive, but he's my boyfriend and his feelings are important to me.
I don't even get on with you half the time.
I think it's fairly clear who I'm going to side with.
Apologize to him.
If he accepts it I won't get in the way of your friendship.
If he doesn't then that's not my problem.

What is it precisely that you think he needs me to apologize for?

He feels like you shut him out of planning for Halloween.
That's a really important day for him and there aren't that many people who get that like you do.
It really upset him.

If I shut him out it was because I doubted the joint endeavor would continue to be pleasant for either me or him. I thought he would no longer be interested and it was easier to stop counting on him then and there.

And I didn't want it to come across as if I was still seeking out his help only because I needed it for practical reasons.

I wanted to collaborate with him simply because I thought with us working together it would be more

[There's an eloquent way to say this? Right? Right? No.]

fun.

That's the thing.
He wants you to need him.
Though I'm sure he'd appreciate you thinking it would be more fun too.

But you really need to tell all this to me him. Not me.

You truly think he's become that invested over this? It wouldn't surprise me if by now he's stopped caring about the whole thing.

[...Unlike Lucius himself, who let's be honest, would totally still be steaming over it.

Or maybe it's just easier for him to not feel bad if there's nothing to be done about it anyway.]

Have this conversation with him.
If he's that invested he's perfectly capable of telling you himself.

Perhaps I will and perhaps I won't.

["So there", he doesn't actually add. But he certainly won't give the impression he's trying to make nice because of Oliver.

He almost ends the conversation at that. But. Something comes up in his mind.]

He is here, by the way. My son.

He arrived with the most recent bunch.

Only a few weeks after you and I discussed the possibility. It's almost like a curse.

[He's ready for the conversation to end there. When it doesn't he's not quite sure what makes him tell him this when things are as fraught between them as they are now, but...

His heart still sinks upon reading those words. He feels a twinge of pity for him. For all their disagreements he knows full well Lucius loves his son. He also knows it sucks to have someone that you care for stuck here with you.]

He is?
I'm sorry.
I know this isn't what you wanted for him.

[He isn't sure why he said this, himself. Perhaps because given what they've talked about before it feels somehow relevant. Certainly it's weighing on his mind.

But he isn't about to vent to Oliver about this now after everything that's happened either.]

Certainly it is not.

In any case now you know. If you see an adolescent boy around who bears a strong resemblance to me

Or to myself before the changes began that is

That is my son. His name is Draco. All I would ask is that you leave him alone, or contact me if he seems to be in any trouble.

Oh, I've actually met him.
I feel like I should have guessed that.
He looks just like you.

I'll stay away from him.
You should know I gave him the number for my private channel, but I doubt he'd have any reason to use it.

Yes, the Malfoy family traits have always been strong, particularly on the male side.

He's no fool and knows to be wary of strangers. And who knows what he's made of this city, or its people. Certainly I had no idea when I first arrived myself. He's coming from the same perspective.

But in any case that is all I had to say.

Sometimes strangers are all you have here.
In his case he's lucky enough to have you, so I'm sure he'll be fine.
Good luck.
