It's a shame his back is turned, because if it wasn't, he'd be able to see Julian looking back at him with a sudden tenderness. It is consolation, knowing that despite how horribly they left things between them, they really can just...leave all that behind, if they want to. Be intimate friends again.

He loves him, surely, as a dear and highly respected friend ought to be loved. More than anything, this moment, Julian wants to drive away that awful gloom in Guy's posture, the gloom he is responsible for.
