Aurel really was such a sweet and innocent boy...Faolan found himself touched by his honesty and his compassion. He had been born with this heart, and even the things that he had been through had not been enough to stamp it out of him. For this, Faolan admired the child, and hoped that he could help to preserve that goodness into his adulthood.

[color=a36209]"Thank you, Aurel,"[/color] was all Faolan needed to say after Lucien had finished speaking. The Irishman had been forced to hide himself for so long that it had once been difficult for him to remember what it was like to be free. He felt a little more of that freedom now that he would be able to express his feelings for Lucien, to an extent, without having to worry about Aurel's reaction. Though Faolan had quite a sexual appetite, what he had missed most was the ability to touch Lucien when he wanted, whether it be hold hands or a kiss on his forehead. Small ways to remind the Frenchman how much he cared for him...it was this that he had been longing for since they had rescued Aurel from his tormentors.

He raised his eyebrows upon hearing Aurel's request in genuine surprise. He had not been expecting the boy to ask for this...though, come to think of it, Faolan had wanted the same at his age. Living in a one-room house with his parents and sister had been hard on him, and them as well...he supposed he could see where the boy was coming from. 

He looked over at Lucien and shrugged slightly, [color=a36209]"If that's what you want..."[/color] he looked back at the boy, [color=a36209]"I'm sure we can make it happen."[/color] For the time being, the three of them had been living in the trailer together. Sometimes they would camp outside, but to keep all three of them close it was best to keep the proximity for now. Maybe there was a way they could get an attachment for their trailer...something small that could give Aurel a separate space. The wheels began to turn in Faolan's head as he thought out the possibilities and logistics of this request.
