R’nd returned the frown, also thinking something seemed off. Ayontay was usually far more cheerful but maybe he just wasn’t a morning person either and hadn’t fully woken up yet. When the boy finally answered and seemed to perk up a bit, R’nd smiled, glad to see that perhaps it was just a passing bit of sleepiness that refused to let go. “Good, that’s good.”
He had to do this, he was committed to a conversation now. It’d be weird if he suddenly stood up with a lame excuse to leave. He was briefly reminded of the way T’ryn acted when he blurted out their blood ties and R’nd almost laughed at how he was close to doing the same thing. Getting right to the point was the best idea but he didn’t want to be quite so blunt. “So it has recently come to my attention via something I probably wasn’t supposed to see that… well… that I’m your father.” Okay, so maybe he was in the mood to be blunt after all. He flinched slightly at his wording but wondered if there was an easier way to say that. Maybe he should have asked B’jin for his advice. The poor man had put up with him pondering over this for two weeks that involved the barest amount of information along the lines of ‘I may have another son.’ Given B’jin had recently learned he had a son the same age as his lover, R’nd didn’t want to burden him with too much information.
