#klasdjfsda lucien would be right not to accept faber in his day to day life

[not-poignant]

Lucien did not pull his punches holy fuck. Free my boy Faber he did nothing wrong!!! Poor guy :(

Lucien has issues with Faber from the first moment that he (accurately) realises that Faber is in love with Caleb.

Tbh, while Lucien is horrible about it, it's also really unprofessional of Faber to stay working at Hillview while this is happening.

The priority of omegas and their welfare at Hillview comes first, and they are vulnerable, insecure, and often very jealous, and also not stupid, and being literally trapped/imprisoned on a property where you have to worry that your companion that you're forced to bond with might secretly be in love with someone else, or alternatively, that someone else might try and secretly bond with them (and like, your family or spouse are paying tens of thousands of dollars for you to stay there, sometimes close to 6 figures depending on the length of stay), is actually wildly inappropriate.

Faber's definitely in a difficult situation, but the reason he won't report what's happened, is that he knows he could get fired for not disclosing the situation to Dr Gary in the first place!

Which means Lucien solidly hates Faber for about two years, and Faber has to go out of his way to avoid Lucien (and Caleb) and sends other betas to deal with them instead (which makes Caleb think that Faber hates him, lol).
