Just as he had remembered her from the last time he spoke to her, Onyx greeted him with a roll of her eyes a hard smirk. Well, at least he could rest assured that nothing had really changed. He scoffed a little when she commented on how the warmer weather here suited him and he gave a shake of his head as he glanced away from her, wondering if he would have been better off pretending he had never noticed her scent and just going the other way. He had made a point of avoiding anyone from his past life until now and if anything she was just proving why he had left in the first place. For some reason he stayed where he was though, glancing back toward her as she said how she couldn't blame him for leaving with how his dad was.
His ear flicked and a slight scowl crossed his lips at the mention of his father, his golden eyes shifting down to the ground in front of him. "What dad?" he questioned with a sarcastic bite to his tone, looking away from her for a moment. Not once in his entire childhood could he remember a time when his father had actually acted like a father, like he had wanted them, and now that he was living in Fenmyre and watching how Chimera was with his kids he realized what all he had been missing. "I moved somewhere that no one would know who I was for a reason," he muttered, glancing back toward Onyx again. "That isn't exactly the legacy I want following me around."
He sighed with another shake of his head, glancing up at the leaves above him for a moment. This unwelcome walk down memory lane was certainly not what he had planned on or wanted for his day, but now he wasn't given much of a choice. Still, as he thought about what life had been like back in Incindium, he knew it wasn't all terrible. The times he had with Onyx and her siblings were probably the highlights of it all. "How's your family?" he asked after a moment of silence, bringing his gaze back to her with a small moment of genuine concern. He knew that his father's inability to keep his shit together had affected them all so he just hoped that everyone had managed to find a new route in life like he did.
