[The last person Julian would expect any understanding from - any show of comfort from for anything - would be Bobby. Both of them, nearly always at odds, both merely responsible and dedicated enough to put aside their dislike and work together only when needed. But now here they stand, and for the first time Julian understands, during the course of their entire unsteady truce, how fucking foolish he's been, looking down on him, secretly envying his position and thinking he could do it better.
Disagreements or not, Bobby's the person to look to for a reason, the person ultimately calling the shots. He's seen more, done more. Understands things Julian, despite all his power and experience, doesn't yet.
Julian works his jaw at this, glances at Bobby's hand but doesn't shrug it off. He raises his eyes and nods, but his look says much more. He's grateful.]
