Before he knew it, her face was beaming with interest, and he blinked in confusion. What was she so happy about? Ixionn slowly leaned back, his tail balancing his large body out as he awaited her explanation. But he didn't have to wait long. "Arian is my sister!" She exclaimed, and Ixionn, as well, became interested. An uneasy smile stretched crookedly across his face. Another cousin...how about that? He didn't know he had so much family around these parts. But, why not be happy about it? More family, more allies. His tail brushed against the emerald grass gently, his ears pricking forward. "Well, it's nice to see some more family." He told her with an interest glint in his amber eyes.
But the next thing she had uttered took him aback. His cousin was now his fathers mate?! What a small world...Ixionn moved backward with wide eyes, trying to process the whole thing without gagging. In a way, she was his new mother...but, not really. Ixionn shook his head, his awe-struck gaze traveling to the ground. "Oh...really? That's quite a shock." He muttered, forcing his voice not to shake as he spoke. Now he really needed to talk to Quelt. This much confusion and awe made him want to collapse and vomit everywhere. Arian with Cypress was already shocking enough...now this?! Ixionn slid down to his stomach and found himself relaxing, his tail curling around his haunches.
