He had been sleeping. Not as soundly as he had liked, but he would take sleep where he could get it. Ever since Azure had come to avenge Hanako, life for them had all gone downhill. Eden and her pup disappeared in a wake of blood, their own daughter had gone off to who knows where, and both of the boys had seemingly followed in her path. Not that he was necessarily worried about the boys, they would return eventually when they were done with their little jaunt. But Deluge? Gilgamesh did indeed worry about that child of theirs for the sake that she hadn't really seemed like the type to wander off. Not like Scald, that lanky boy was always off to other areas.

The way her worried words echoed in his ears made him lift his head and reach out to touch her gently on the shoulder. "If that will make you feel better, I will keep an eye out here for their return," he said, expression reserved and hiding any emotion of worry he held for the babes.
