(for medraut) my brothers are deaaaaad

[asshatoforkney]

Agravain has never been one to hide himself away when he's upset. Which is why he's on the front porch, under the verandah, sitting slumped against the side of the Mansion. It's one of the most public places he could find. He has a bottle of something alcoholic in one hand (he didn't check to see what it was, and he's not in the right state of mind

Medraut's not pleased to see Agravain looking so angry (or drunk). Partly because it means he breaks things (and people) and partly because Agravain's his brother and it bothers him to see his brothers upset, even if they are assholes.

But he doesn't guess the reason for the man's demeanour. Medraut tries to avoid thinking about his dead brothers, and he intends to keep them a secret from Agravain for as long as possible (he knows Gawain might tell him -- but he doubts they would have a serious enough conversation to get to that point, really). He assumes Agravain's had some pointless fight with someone and come off the worse for it. Otherwise, if he knew the true reason, he'd likely not approach his brother.

He saunters toward Agravain, deliberately not showing any reaction to his brother's mood. "Spurned by yet another fair maiden?" he asks casually.

"Yes," Agravain barks, harshly. Much more harshly than he usually does, even when he's angry and drunk. This is obviously not just another pointless fight. "That's exactly what it is. When were you planning on telling me that Gareth and Gaheris were dead?"

Getting straight to the point.

Oh shit.

He must have talked to Gawain. Medraut tries to appear as casual as before. He shrugs. "In time," he lies, in his best concerned-brother voice, "it's not an easy thing to hear -- I wanted to give you time to adjust to being dead, being here, before."

Actually, he was planning on never telling Agravain, but he thinks his brother might be even angrier if he knew that.

Agravain knows you far too well to believe that, Medraut.

"It's been well over a bloody year, Medraut," he spits. He is really pissed. And he does not appreciate being lied to.
