R’nd frowned. What else could he do? Perhaps he could continue to deny it or call Volfetti on a bluff. His mind reached out to the blue still nestled into his burrow and was greeted with a snort. You don’t need me to verify a thing. You already know she’s telling the truth about everything. Ayyonth was right; he did know, he just didn’t want to believe it. Volfetti had nothing to gain from naming him as her child’s father as she had no doubt heard of his reputation for carefree relationships and not having any children that he acknowledged. She had also been stand-offish and didn’t like being at Katila so it made little sense for her to start sleeping with everyone, though you didn’t always have a choice when a green took to the skies, which they both were currently dealing with the after effects of.
“Vol-” he stopped himself from speaking and reaching out for the delicate woman that had suffered so much since arriving at Katila, some of it being his doing. Guilt and regret were foreign emotions to the bluerider but both were starting to eat at him now. He felt that their union had caused her distress and left her pregnant though she seemed happy enough with her, their child. “I’m sorry, for what little that’s worth now.” R’nd wasn’t sure if he was apologising for Volfetti getting tangled up in a flight in general or more specifically that it was with him she had ended up in bed with. He knew she wouldn’t have been lacking in the actual encounter but she hadn’t truly asked for it or anything that followed.
Like how she was now stuck with a young bluerider that had no concept of commitment and no idea on how to even hold a baby let alone be a father to one. “I’m not sure what you want me to do,” the confession was admittance to confusion but also a small note of resignation. He could accept the tubby kid was his but what else could he do for Volfetti and Benden? He glanced around his hut, decorated as lavishly as he could given the circumstances but it was clear it was the home of a bachelor and R’nd paled as his mind inserted toys and baby clothing scattered around the room.
