“Truth is, I don’t know that much about him? He’s was a... private man. He didn’t exactly have a relationship with any of us.” He shrugs.
He’s unable to stop the rush of a memory, unbidden, of standing in the doorway of his father’s office with his mother, brothers and sisters, hoping to get even the simplest of acknowledgment from their father, all of them vying for his attention like starved dogs. He barely looked up, and Allison was always the bravest and the first to speak out against him, and they all went to bed without the simplest ‘goodnight’ from their father.
“He was a man of science. A trailblazer in several fields. He knew what he was doing.” Even if Klaus couldn’t tell him how the man knew, he knew that he did. Somehow. Klaus didn’t have any reason to believe otherwise. “He just sucked at the execution of how he decided to help us learn about them.”
