His eyes slid shut and a little nod in agreement that they needed to talk. He knew they did but he still wanted to put it off a little longer as he only wanted to hold Cazan and remind himself she was real and convey his love to her despite the stupid things he did. He also needed a little more time to prepare before hearing about how wonderful A'tay was and the potential decision to swap out brothers. What if Malvayth decided Xyxyth was perfect and they were mates now? He had briefly entertained that thought when he saw the win happen but had forgotten it since. It was back now and had T'ryn close to panicking, but he calmed himself when Cazan didn't lead with that. Malvayth also hadn't mentioned anything and she would have been bursting as she got him to guess her secret.
But a confession that extra rounds took place did still leave T'ryn wondering where it left him in the picture and how he felt about it. He held Cazan tightly, afraid that it might be the last time he would be able to. Not just because of her potential interest in his brother--the guilt she expressed could go either way--but because of what he did. It was best to tackle the Flight first since T'ryn hated seeing Cazan so upset. Sir hated it just as much and his guard routine after appearing almost had T'ryn smiling.
"It's okay," he reassured both woman and firelizard but then shifted focus solely to Cazan as Sir continued using him as a lookout perch. "Extra rounds often happen and many believe they're still a part of the Flight process since there's so many emotions and the arousal to work through." He kissed the top of her head, still refusing to end the clinging hug. It seemed Cazan needed it as much as he did as well.
"I panicked and fled when he won. Oh, I put the twins in the crèche before I left but they're with my dads now," T'ryn had been so out of it with his need to flee that he hadn't even left a note about what he did with their kids but Cazan likely would have assumed they were with him or safely tucked away. "You know I'm always supportive of Mal's great games and the results, but this one threw me off. I didn't know how to handle you with my brother but it's fine, honest. As long as you're safe and you enjoyed yourself." He didn't want to joke about murder given all they had been through but he would still consider it if need be. But she looked fine and had been working without any obvious physical hindrance so A'tay was safe a while longer.
