Wait.

Was THAT why Logan did it? Because he hadn't called Logan to say he was BACK? It made Scottie SNORT. "You're peeved that I didn't make you aware that I was moving back? Logan - that had always been the plan - I didn't know that I needed to formally announce myself, like the Queen or something - " he rolled his eyes. Logan liked to pretend he wasn't as sensitive as Scott, but Scottie knew the reality. He was juuuuuust as sensitive; Logan just liked to pretend. "Plus.. I figured mum or dad told you." He shrugged.

But the guilt was starting to seep in. Maybe he should have told Logan, like, officially. There was more frowning. A lot of it, actually, as he sipped his butterbeer.
Okay, truuuuue, he did not understand 'trauma' and 'fear' and thought that most of the time, his brother was just overreacting. But please, it had been a harmless prank, AND he'd helped his brother ALMOST get a date with that Rose lady, whatever her name was. So he'd almost been helpful, really. Scottie should be thanking him. "My bad," was all he said instead, in a mild, almost bored tone that read are you done lecturing me yet?

He tilted his glass so the amber liquid swirled around like a soft vortex, snorting too at his brother's joke about the Queen. "Nobody ever tells me nuthin," he grunted, still making eye contact with the drink and not his sibling. "You think Dad would let me move in after uni?" Not a fat chance in the world. His father was still peeved that he hadn't graduated on time. Noooooo no, they'd just cater to the favorite son all the time. "They hardly contact me at all."

He looked up now, mostly at the bar, and took another sip of drink that finished it off. There. He set his glass down heavily and rapped his knuckles on the bar for another. "It was actually Emma who told me you were in town." Now his blue eyes drifted back toward his sibling. "Guess you still owl her, huh."
