Go back to your hiding from the public eye then, I'll amuse myself.
[It's something of a test of the boundaries Glen will allow him. After all, technically he isn't a prisoner right? Yet Glen has never really let him explore on his own. He supposes he could do it anyway, if he wanted, but thus far it hasn't really appealed to him to oppose Glen so strongly.]
[He can't exactly tell him no. He doesn't want Felid to know exactly how afraid Glen is to let him be alone. Part of the illusion of kindness they have between them relies on Felid never knowing there's anything but a positive relationship to begin with, so he can't go letting him think Glen's outright grounding him. But at the same time he is afraid to leave him on his own, so what should he do?
He pauses for a moment, then sighs and shakes his head. He can't keep it up forever. He knows Felid's too smart not to notice he's restricted. And besides, Glen's too strong to worry about a single vampire now. He'll have to consider this a test. If Felid can't handle not being chaperoned for a few hours without going back to his old behavior after this long, he probably never will be manageable, and Glen might as will call the project a bust. Right?
Right.]
Fine. Be back by dinnertime or I'll think you fell in a well.
[Felid laughs, a little giddy with freedom and waves at Glen over his shoulder as he turns to go.]
One of these days you should learn to enjoy yourself.
[It is hours before he finds his way back to Glen's offices. Interacting with people is amazing, delightful really, even though most outright treat him with suspicion and resentment, after all the fangs aren't subtle. He wanders, observes, and even makes some daisy crowns with children, wearing one and bestowing one on Glen when he returns, looking as flushed and excited and happy as a child after a long play himself. Paying no heed to whatever stress Glen might be in.]
[He is moderately stressed yes. He always is at work, because he's stubborn and demands to do as much of the actual paperwork as possible. Glen is not one of those people in power who leaves the ruling to the aides. Nope, he's in his office dawn til late into the night most days trying to manage the world he's in charge of. So of course that's what he's doing, and he scowls at the sudden intrusion of the flower crown. But he doesn't immediately pull it off, so there's a victory in that.]
