Clarus looked perplexed for a moment at the words Regis chose to use, then it seemed to click. "He didn't know who you are," he stated in conclusion. "And how did you react to him?"
It wasn't that Clarus was trying to be over-protective... He had a vague idea of where Regis was in their history, but regardless of what was happening between them then it did not give him any right to claim Regis now. Given the 35 years difference in age between them...
The old man sighed, shaking his head like he was trying to release an errant thought from his brain.
"I think I need some fresh air," he mumbled, staring a bit harder at the contents of his glass before downing it in one gulp.
