Valentine's brow knit just slightly in concern before dissolving into amusement. That little movement, that tiny shift did not go unnoticed by the Regium king. Valen had seemed genuinely concerned. Well, that was a good sign he supposed. After all, Drashiel was rather hoping to breach the topic of an alliance though at the moment he was rather bored of politics and saw no harm in a good conversation. "Thank you!" he chirped.
"My heartbreaking days might be over, sadly."
It was Drashiel's turn to look concerned. Had something happened? He'd have been seriously surprised if Abaven's alpha managed to take down Valentine. The man's mammoth size and muscular frame made him a force to be reckoned with. Huh… Drashiel suddenly realized how very short he was in comparison to the other male.
Drashiel's gaze tipped upward as his jaw dropped open. Valentine was going to be a father? Suddenly he let out a laugh. "Well congratulations! Don't tell me it was with the sister of the Abaven alpha? Bass will be livid!" He sighed softly. "It's kind of scary though isn't it? Roman and I have been discussing starting a family and… well we united in more ways than one. I'm a bit nervous as to what the outcome of that night of bliss was. Honestly, I'm not quite sure how to go about being a father…" Drashiel's voice trailed off as he wondered when he became so open. But the thought had been on his mind ever since he and Roman had sex. He wasn't quite sure he was ready for this but at the same time he hoped to maybe learn more about himself.
"You want to walk with me, Valentine? Take a tour of Regium, I must say I enjoy your company."
