i also have so many feelings about how thomas responds to james asking who’s coming with first giving his father’s title, his responsibilities, his name, before saying ‘my father’. like, that’s what he is, before he’s thomas’s father. how many times do you think alfred told thomas that it’s his title and his position that are important before his son, or hinted that the only reason he’s keeping thomas around/not disinheriting completely is because of the title that thomas will inherit some day?
