"Wait, what?"
B'run blinked and sat up straight, eyes not leaving her. When Olemuth sent the image from Shanith to B'run the rider's eyes widened and he paused a moment, focusing on the image of the child and he rname. Berani. Berani. There was, of course, a chance it wasn't his but with the 'Be' at the beginning of her name... Well, he didn't have any other suspects.
"What note? I never got any note." He wasn't entirely defensive, but he did want her to know that he hadn't deliberately been avoiding her because of an obligation like that. "There was never..." He slumped back against Olemuth. "Baby? I... You have a child? You have... my child?" He had a child? R'ana had had his child? She had had his child two turns ago! Two turns! He hadn't known he had a child for two turns! He'd seen the girl around, he'd even helped her reach things she couldn't. All the while not knowing her name or that she was his.
He sat in silence, starring past her and trying to work out everything that had changed in the span of a few minutes. He ran a hand through his hair and rubbed the back of his neck, going through silly little motions to calm himself before lifting his gaze to R'ana once more. The knowledge of her being the mother of his child had sobered him up quickly.
"Can I see 'er? Not like this 'course. No 'un needs t'see me like this... But... Sometime? Would tha' be okay?"
