"He is beautiful." That was just a fact. "His smile is like sunshine." Also a fact. Lucius made a room brighter by walking into it. Or maybe that was more subjective, but Victor didn't really care. His perception was usually what mattered to him almost exclusively. "Anyway. Lucius has nothing to do with you."

Seemed very important to compartmentalise the two. "He doesn't deal with our side of Gotham."

And that sucked, but keeping him away from Roman? That seemed to be for the best.
