makes the man

He'd come to speak to his father, that was all. After having not seen his siblings in what seemed like a hot minute, it didn't feel... well. Never mind that. They were his brothers, and he would live with the fact that they'd shown up as well. The only thing to break his flat affect was meeting the eyes of the man that had supposedly fathered the three of them. Some father he was-- regardless. Bellum was here to fix that. He was here to make things a little better for all of them, and by extension, a little better for mom.

At Elias's arrival, Bellum's eyes widen slightly... and then his brothers. Bellum's gaze at each was careful, calculating. "I didn't think I'd see you at all." It's not cold, no. Nothing to sway his neutrality at this time, but there was an undercurrent of surprise in his choice of words. Reinhardt didn't speak, and Bellum appreciated that. He'd come with a purpose, and he wasn't sure if the presence of either of his brothers would get in the way of that. They were family. Family is what matters.

"I don't know why they've come." Again, careful neutrality colors his words. He straightens his posture a bit more, pulling his thoughts together as he does. "I wanted to discuss being a member of your pack, with one condition." Bellum watched carefully, attempting to read Elias's reaction to his words. To come into the home of a father he barely knew and set a condition to his remaining in this home? Well, that seemed far fetched. Still, it was important to him. "I still want to be able to take care of mother." Aures was getting... older. She wouldn't be around forever. Family above all.
