There were no more comments to be made upon the girlfriend matter fortunately, Azalea allowed it to be dropped and instead confessed a worry she'd had about the boy's living in Glaciem. She'd voiced a similar thing when the albino King had showed himself at last as they left though he'd never spoken to her about it. It had seemed like a ridiculous notion to the young Adravendi then and still did now, how on earth did she even think for a moment that Isardis could have achieved that goal. Of course Soren's mood didn't exactly help with that viewpoint and his sudden disappearance probably didn't either but he chose to ignore those two facts. Soren was just in a sour mood at the entire world right now and his trip had nothing to do with Azalea or Isardis. "That's some imagination you've got there." He commented dryly. "And how do you think he could have achieved that?"
Whilst Alamea and Rune were nothing but names in Kismet's mind at the moment, it appeared from her sudden surprise that his mother had known of at least Alamea. "Well you had vanished when they left." He pointed out bluntly. It wasn't a bitter tone, just completely matter-of-fact. How could she have known that the family had gone when she wasn't even around herself? He hadn't known either up until he had ran into Warja.
Given that his loyalty still very much remained with Azalea and his Adravendi heritage the apology didn't need too much thought before he forgave her. It was still a little irritating to think that she had been gone, but his immediate thought on the matter had always been for her safety, never once had he considered that she might have abandoned them. "Fine he can exist." He gave in to his mother's slightly soppy comment. "But he might as well not in my mind."
He would only give a small sigh at her explanation, there wasn't really much else he could say on the matter. He wasn't arguing with her, he didn't harbour any real resentment and she he would simply accept it. But her reason of not running away with them had caught his attention a little more, it completely justified his thoughts that he couldn't have left Glaciem with Warja when she offered him the chance. He would have only brought danger to her and whilst parting from his friend for that time had been difficult, it seemed it was very much the right decision. He by no means had the naivety of a child that as his mother was a grown-up she had to be right, he was after all a grown-up himself, certainly he could no longer be called a pup.
The news that his brother wasn't settling back into Valhalla and the family too well would certainly make him think twice about exploring with Warja again. He could visit her now at least, and definitely would for some sort of adventure with each other though it seemed that his family needed him right now. He might as well have called himself Isardis' son if he denied this request and selfishly abandoned his family. "Of course." He responded simply with a small nod of his head.
He had certainly figured that Sarak was still very much part of the family, he had begun to be after all when he and Soren had been taken. For that reason he'd always considered the man far more of a father to him than he ever would Isardis and had even given his name as his father once in Glaciem. "I know." He stated with a small smile. "It's fine." He certainly had no qualms with the arrangement, he hadn't then and as long as Azalea was happy he certainly wouldn't now.
Whilst Sarak being part of the family hadn't been much of a surprise, her next comment of being pregnant would certainly shock the boy. From the look on her face Azalea was simply preparing for the worst but in all honesty Kismet wasn't entirely sure what to make of the revelation. Though as a child he'd longed for more playmates, it had always been he and Soren, never had he thought of having more siblings. Of course he had met some of them or at least seen them during his time in Glaciem, though they didn't count to him, these ones however certainly would be family. He wasn't annoyed by that fact, still just surprised and not entirely certain how to respond now, he should probably say something but what still escaped his mind. "Great?" More of a question than anything, was his mother pleased? He'd be happy for her if that was the case.
