Faolan may or may not have colored slightly at the mention of Lancelot in the context of 'you boyfriend'. He's not about to speak up and try and correct the other man one way or another -- maybe he was just making fun of him. Maybe he really meant it. If he did, he doesn't need to know that he's only his boyfriend insofar as Faolan has affections for him and he would like to date him, if Lancelot's 'thinking about it' ever came to a positive answer. But that is neither here nor there.

He doesn't speak up to say that as far as he can do, he cannot act against the Night Council's direct order on anything or else suffer consequences far greater than anyone else within the clan. Instead, he responds to the other man's last point.

"Land," he repeats. "The only land bordering on our own is that of the Redbright Institute. I hope you're not suggesting that we go to war against them...?" God even knows what kind of a can of worms attacking the Redbright Institute might open up, with the monopoly that Sylvia Redbright holds over most of the supernatural city, Faolan thinks to himself. Bitterly.
