The map was one of the larger ones that had stayed constant over the years. There'd been no blank spots on it or names that Alec couldn't read. It had become his main resource when trying to understand the modern world. When Adam pointed out Virginia, he wanted to ask what it was like, what his home was like. Alec still remembered pieces of his past and the place that he'd lived. The memories weren't always clear but maybe if Adam described his world, those details would become vivid again.

Instead he focused on the ley line, knowing that was more important than wanting to remember his own home. Looking up from his imagined plotting of the line along the valley, he tried to ignore the way his heart sunk when Adam said he had to go.

It shouldn't bother him. Alec had known that Adam couldn't stay. He didn't even like Alec so it shouldn't be a disappointment that he had to leave. Nodding as he put away the map, he kept his gaze away from the priestess so he didn't say something stupid like asking when Adam would return. "I'll walk you out, if you want."
