Then Eric takes a small step forward and says, "With that taken care of, I assume your Majesties will be wanting to return to the King's mansion?" He sounds like wading around in the bloody remains of the hangman of the Authority is something that happens every night. It's a forced effort, but fairly believable.
"No," Russell says.
Eric freezes.
"We'll all head back," he continues. "I'm sure your Progeny can handle things here. Don't you think so, Eric?"
His lifted eyebrow and the sudden absence of any other kind of facial expression makes the question seen a hell of a lot more loaded.
There's a brief pause.
Then Eric walks over to Edlington, looking down at him. Lips slightly parted. "Of course, my King," he murmurs. "I did not want to presume-" Briefly running a finger down Edgington's upper arm.
Then he looks back at Pam.
"I'll just make sure that everything is in order upstairs. And get someone down here with a mop. I do have a business to run, " he says and Russell seems to buy it, herding Sophie-Ann up the stairs with a warning to Eric about not taking too long.
And then he is back at Pam's side, his arms around her.
