He felt better now, Penny had a gift for putting things in perceptive for him. She pecked his cheek and he could feel the heat rising in his face as she smiled, turning to the door and running those long fingers through the golden hair with the texture of silk.
She stopped suddenly and he almost walked straight into her. John was home, and Kayo was latched onto his arm, it was a scene that put Gordon on the defensive. What was he doing here? he had said nothing. Honestly, the last time he had spoken to his brother it had ended in rather unkind words, not that the others knew but if he could have Gordon would have walked to Five and laid his 'dearest' sibling out, still, john was smiling and Kayo was there so he politely welcomed him home.
Kayo and penny excused themselves leaving the brothers, he wanted to leave, to follow Penny but John seemed like he had something to say. his whole mannerism had something about it, there was something he needed to say or do but didn't know how. So Gordon asked the only thing he could think of, what he assumed was the entire reason John was willing to put up with gravity. was he going to see Scott and Virgil?
The reply was short and sweet and said so much more than it was meant to, there was something else but he didn't want to seem to say what, he was still keeping secrets. Gordon sighed and pushed past. Informing him that their siblings were not in the mood for visitors recently so he shouldn't be annoyed if he could the cold shoulder. Silently adding that if he did he damn well deserved it as he went in search of Penny and her ability to make him forget everything else with that smile.
