Katja succeeded in soothing the boy for a moment, but the calm didn't last long. The alpha went on to speak to her brother cryptically and Laufey, who desperately wished to know what was going on, let his gaze dart from face to face in an attempt to find understanding. The adults offered nothing, but Orochi sighed, the gesture causing Laufey's gaze to lock onto his brother's face. The other boy began with an apology and the young titan chilled. He feared the worst, his imagination coming up with all kinds of horrible things, but his brother's explanation was far worse than he could have imagined.

He had a father. Of course he did, everyone did, but having a name made it real, having living, breathing relatives made it real. The blood between him and his alpha was startling, but what really got the boy was not his parentage, but that it had been hidden from him. Laufey stared at Orochi uncomprehendingly, his mind working overtime to put the pieces together. He had known and kept it from him. His breathing quickened, air whistling through dry nostrils as his jaws stayed clamped shut. He did not know how to feel.

When at last he found his voice, it was soft. "You knew?" His mouth snapped shut, teeth grinding as his jaw worked. His lips quivered, the action a battle between a rising sneer and containing words he would regret. "'I'm sorry..Katja'?" he repeated, voice growing hard. "For what? It sounds like she was going to tell me when you weren't."
