threecardtrick:
what is the true answer? the answer is yes & no in equal measures, with neither being a lie or an evasion. the sweet silver tongue elicits this prompt response: “no.” thomas has been around enough blood that it mattered little. if he was concerned, it was only for practical reasons, only for the boy’s sake. he offered up a gracious smile. “is there anything i can do for you?” he served the god, and so too the son. though perhaps it is more a politeness that is outstretched. still, thomas does what he can to please.
“ .... “ he doesn’t know how to respond to this, the offer of a task, “ and who are you exactly to me, it would be unwise of me to believe this does not have ties to my father. you seem.... “ he pauses to chose his words wisely, “ more intelligent, more cautious, than most. “ but he did not care whether or not it was blood, he wasn’t startled by anything so far and that most certainly played in his favor. “ tell me about yourself. “

“ funny how you disown him as your own father yet here you still claim him, dear kara, is there something you need to discuss. “ he chuckles, the uneasiness in his siblings composure is almost enough to get drunk on in and of itself. “ i’m the one who should be considered the rightful heir to the kilgrave name. “ he sneers, “ unfortunately, father doesn’t view it that way. i’ve het to PROVE myself, as he mentions.... “ skirting around the fact that kilgrave won’t even claim him as his own son is not a thing he’s willing to dance with right now. “ but that doesn’t matter, as soon as i handle jessica and .....god what’s her name - the annoying one, whatever, new jessica. he’ll see that i’m worth something. “

“ seems like you must have gotten the insufferable dick trait from our father. “ better he than her, dark brow furrowing as she takes a sip of her own drink - well, rather a sip of an entire bottle of whiskey. she’s not large into consuming alcohol in general, but for being in the same room as Him…it’ll do well to prevent physical contact in the form of a fist & His face. “ remind me again who you are ? don’t even think dad knows you’re related to him, if you even are. “ speaking like this as though prideful gives a horrid taste in her mouth, gaining another sip of the whiskey.
