Ulric noticed the trepidation she had when he brought up the topic of Romulus and their trips together, clearly expecting him to have a much more adverse reaction to it. Her glance back at him and how she seemed to relax a bit when she saw he was still smiling made him chuckle softly. Even he could admit that he surprised himself with how quickly he had adapted to the idea of the boy being in her life. He gave a lot of credit to Eska's positive influence and making him see things in a more rational light, but he also just valued Lillith's happiness more than anything else. He had seen her been miserable and withdrawn for so long and seeing her like this - vibrant and excited and ready to take on the world - warmed his heart and if Romulus was the catalyst for that then he wouldn't stand in their way.
It was still a relief to hear that they were being careful out in the wilds and that Romulus was treating her well, smirking a little as she slightly danced around them "having fun." He wasn't daft and could read between the lines. He hoped that they weren't having too much fun, but he also wasn't oblivious to what Ezra and Syanna were up to and how the fox-colored healer and moved into his son's room. He didn't want to be the hypocrite that put limits on what his daughter could do and not do the same to his son. He trusted Lillith to be smart and only do what she was comfortable with. She was a bright young woman. "I'm glad you're having a good time on your trips and I hope you're learning a lot. It seems like they've been good for you."
He got up then, walking over to where she was still busy packing their food for the day, and leaned his head down to tap his nose against her cheek. "I trust your judgement, darling. As long as you're being safe that's all I can ask. Oh, and maybe make some time to spend with your old man, huh?" He gave her a grin and chuckled, his tail wagging gently behind him. As much as he would love to spend whole days out exploring with her, he knew that was difficult with his current position so he most certainly wouldn't hold that against her or Romulus, but he did slightly miss how much time he used to spend with her. He wanted her to grow up and have bigger and better things in her life, he just wanted a small slice of her time occasionally.
