Rise and fall
He felt content, no matter how things were going. As she spoke, she told him she wasn't ready. It made Vereux's grin soften, it remained though. As he gave a small chuckle. “I figured your answer would be this way as well.” his tail flicked a bit. It didn't change the fact they were friends. He wouldn't deny his feelings, but he would give her space and time of course. As she explained that he should know why she was so hesitant he looked at the snow.
“I think you should know something like that about me as well.” he said looking into the distance. “I... at one point was deeply and utterly in love with my sister. Athena Armada. We had an open relationship at that, I even married her and her current wife Amalia adravendi - Arian's sister - together. We have four sons.... they'd be about three years old by now.” he laughed a bit bitterly. “I wasn't involved in their lives though. After I was kidnapped with Arian and taken as a slave - when I came back the damage from me not being there caused Amalia to send me away. I won't say I never loved Athena..... but I..... was always." he narrowed his eyes. “I've moved on, yet at the time I thought it was so unfair. I suppose from the start amalia and athena belonged together - I didn't get to see the rough times and the good times with my sons. I can't even call myself their father. I've always been afraid to get close to... just about anyone.” he looked towards her. Many could take unkindly to incest - so there was no telling what Avalon's reaction would be.
