He arches a genteel eyebrow. “Alright, that part’s mildly deranged. Riftwatch allotments and salaries, even the meager ones, can get someone clothes. You shouldn’t need to be mending your ex-husband’s undergarments.” Weird choice, Guilfoyle.
But that thought leads to another, about this imposing scarecrow who lurks in the background and has made a habit of looming and startling the doctor around corners and gathering up his clothes. (I’m to collect what needs mending, Guilfoyle had pronounced the first time he showed up at Stephen’s private quarters in the tower, as if that explained everything, and he’d answered with a baffled Are you? but in the end it had simply been easier to go along with it.)
“Do you want me to go fetch him? Your emotional support butler.”
Is he actually a butler? Stephen’s always assumed the man’s probably being paid a very handsome sum out of the de Coucy coffers, but he realises now that he’s never actually asked.
