First Meetings Sentences, Vol. 3

When Mycroft had received the invitation to see his cousin's ill-advised paramour sing at a club, his first thought was to immediately say no. Unfortunately, the invitation had been delivered via his boyfriend, and Caesar, being the fan of all things shiny and show business that he was, was incredibly keen on going.

His second though was therefore to orchestrate matters so he was too busy to attend on time, missing the singing and, with luck, potentially the meeting altogether. To some degree, this had worked. Mycroft managed to skip the majority of the singing, though he had still caught the end of it. He had also been quickly spotted by Caesar, who seemed to possess the uncanny ability to spot him in a crowd, and the next thing Mycroft knew, he was being dragged backstage to say hello properly.

It had been clear that no amount of protesting was going to change the situation. Mycroft had lingered at the side of their small group, watching rather than engaging, until Coriolanus had taken Caesar away to discuss a topic that he neglected to elaborate on in private with him. That left Mycroft alone, forced to converse with Lucy Gray (a stupid name. Why did she need two?).

Discussing Relationships Sentences, Vol. 3

Mycroft had never really had the greatest understanding of the dynamics of relationships. This could, of course, be out down to his young age, but it was more than that. His concept of them was very particular, though in no way simple.

Despite any failings he may have when it came to interpersonal connections, Mycroft had many talents to make up for it. He was as bright as a spark and, considering his age, his observational talents were second to none. Being able to look at an individual and know what they were hiding had its advantages, but it also had its disadvantages - disadvantages such as being able to work out that his mother had been seeing somebody.

The single child of a single parent, Mycroft was used to having his the entirety of his mother's attention (excluding, of course, that which she had to pay to her work). The idea of having to share her, even during the moments he was elsewhere, did not sit well with him. To put it simply, Mycroft was jealous. Very jealous.

It was because of that jealousy that he had done something he wouldn't usually do and had outright asked about the situation. Was it particularly polite of him? No, but that concern had been overruled by the enviousness streak running through him.

Having asked his mother when she would be marrying her new 'friend', his emotions clearly displayed in his tone and body language, what had followed, after a brief scolding, were some words on why marriage was not actually important. This confused Mycroft. Marriage was clearly important because everyone did it!
