"Oh," Cash said, because it was a fear he could empathize with - he was well past that, and had been for a while, but he could remember being afraid of disappointing his family. Being past that and being where he was, with Lucius hating him, was perhaps more peaceful. This was not something he could verbalize to Greengrass, probably - he'd already verbalized too much, and he appreciated in a weird way that Greengrass had shared something similarly intimate.
"For what it's worth, I think you'd have to care a lot less to be a disappointment," Cash said; that, too, was something far too earnest to be saying to someone he'd only met once before. He was really going to have to tone it down once they got to the manor, wasn't he? He usually didn't spend this much time with people, was the problem; it was harder for him to sustain normalcy over a spread-out period of time, especially when he wanted to be friends with someone.
