"Qu'va," Geric repeated to himself as he nodded. He was normally good at remembering names and faces and other details, and he was especially disappointed that this was the one he'd forgotten. It was closer to his name than N'lis had been, he should have had an easy time remembering it, even with his own distractions lately. Still, he was sure he'd be able to remember it now at least.
At the mention of their ages he nodded, letting out an awkward chuckle. "Yeah... I'm really not and it's weird to think of myself as an uncle, even if Leeri is so much older than me." It was weirder still to think of himself as a dad. "Big brother is fine with me though. Just... don't be too disappointed if I don't have great advice."
The blue sprawling in the sun brought a more genuine smile to Geric's face. At least someone knew how to relax. "He looks comfortable at least. That must be nice... just be able to lie down in the sun and not care about anything." At least he assumed the dragon didn't have a care in the world right then, he looked too peaceful and relaxed. Geric had already tried lying in the sun, and that had just led to more dread because he couldn't even relax right.
He shook his head and turned his attention back to Qu'va. "Did you want to stop by the market or do anything else before we head home? Your mom's excited to see you." He had no idea if Qu'va even knew about the news yet, or if Quilriana was going to tell him when she saw him. He hadn't so much been told directly himself as he'd walked in at the right moment to overhear. That was a whole different set of anxieties. Maybe Quil would finally kick him out to use his room for the baby. It wasn't something he wanted to think about right then so he just scratched at his head and tried to move on. "Oh and if you want a specific wine or something to drink like that let me know and I can run and get it for you." Maybe he could distract from from how awful and awkward he was feeling by pretending to be a good host.
