[ Alec doesn't say anything. He just lets the silence hang there, oddly heavy and charged and different, though he can't figure out why. Faraday leaves and Alec heaves a sigh, dipping his hands into the basin to splash some water on his face.
Does Faraday take him for some kind of idiot? It's not like he wasn't aware of what was going to happen when he made his move. Without his magic, he was good for little more than a meat shield so that was the part he played.
Faraday is the better shot. The faster draw.
Faraday didn't have his gift to fall back on.
Faraday has already died enough.
Ah, hell. That was the crux of it, wasn't it? Christ, since when did Alec have such noble inclinations? He really was gonna get himself killed one of these days.
In the time that Faraday is gone, Alec helps Anne with dinner and with whatever needs doing around the house- it's the least he could do considering he owes his life to May. Faraday's absence makes him oddly nervous, though he's not sure why, so he tries to keep himself busy. ]
