“Alastair,“Sona said. “Are you going to this sledding party as well?"
“I wasn't invited."
“That isn't true," Cordelia said. “Alastair, I was only going to go because you were!"
“I have decided that my invitation was sadly lost in the post." Alastair said with a dismissive wave of his hand. “I can entertain myself, Mother. Some of us have things to do and cannot be out cavorting at all hours."
Alastair's gaze flicked to Matthew. “Why," he said, “are you not even wearing a hat?"
“And cover up this hair?" Matthew indicated his golden locks with flourish. “Would you blot out the sun?"
Alastair wore the sort of impression that indicated that no amount of eye rolling would be enough.

„I see you're here, Alastair.” James's voice was curiously flat. „And you look…”
He eyed Alastair's bright yellow-white hair with some astonishment. Cordelia waited for him to continue, with great hop that he would say you look like a turnip, but he didn't.

Alastair said goodbye to him at the end of the lane; he said he was leaving Paris the next day, but he continued to refuse to tell Thomas why he was there or where he was going or why he was leaving the next day. Thomas supposed that they weren’t, after all, friends, though he had enjoyed the time they’d spent together. He wasn’t fully sure what a friend was, if it wasn’t someone you enjoyed spending time with.
“I could use some help, Alastair. You see how careless my form is.”
Alastair came and took the knife from her. “Very careless,” he agreed. “I know swordplay comes naturally to you, but not everything will. You must slow down. Pay attention to your feet. Now, follow my gestures. That’s it, Layla. Stay with me.”
And she would.
