Leonids curiosity was admittedly piqued. They had not talked much about Victors wife beyond Victor informing Leonid that she was going to exist when the other man had been courting her. He had gleaned enough to know Victor had held affection for her and he had always been satisfied with the feeling that Victor had affection for him as well.

Though then Victor had hardly spoken to him in a long while so perhaps that had all been one-sided, Leonid reflected. But considering he had never been dead or a ghost, he had also figured that might be a little unfair to feel or think. He was sure a Ghost must have a lot more things to deal with then a former lover and he didn't want to add to the emotional burden by voicing any of this.

"And what are these things you have realized?" Leo asked, his gaze falling to a particular tendril of Victors hair he had always enjoyed playing with when the man had been living. "I'm here for you."
