R’nd was starting to worry that despite what Tyeravi said, the boy didn’t want him to know. He stayed silent, letting Ayontay come to terms with whatever was going through his head beyond likely berating T’ryn for being so careless. R’nd was glad for it though. It left him with a lot of guilt but he needed to know that he had a couple more kids out there, especially if they wanted to know him.
“Am I going to freak out?” R’nd found the question a bit amusing and grinned at his son, “no. I did that already, for about two weeks actually. I worried about how you and your sister might actually feel and have a lot of guilt for not knowing sooner and leaving you without a father.” R’nd had been Searched when he was Ayontay’s age and though he had a dad, the man never really seemed like a dad to him. He gave his praise and respect to Pendalier, especially after he showed a desire to learn the Seacraft and R’nd had no real love for it. He had learned first with Benden and then with T’ryn what a father should be and Ayontay probably never had that either.
“I’d like… I’d like to have a chance at being your father if you’d let me though,” there, he had said it and now was the moment of truth. He had given Ayontay a chance to deny him and R’nd would take it was grace and walk away, though the rejection would hurt.
