Z’kel processed the information that L’ri not only had a wife, he was on his second wife for a moment before setting the fact aside for the time being. “Don’t mention it, I have the means and like giving gifts, it’s no trouble. Babies deserve to be spoiled, after all.” Besides, he was competitive and felt a need to be the favorite uncle, even when he wasn’t technically related to the kid. Favorite uncle-ship was more than blood, after all. L’ri didn’t have to know about that motivation though.
He resisted pointing out that they slept in the same room and therefore ‘stopping by’ didn’t feel like it applied the same way, but Z’kel didn’t want to encourage L’ri to stay any longer debating such nuances. The conversation had been fine, but he really just wanted to finish up his bath alone. He was finished washing but he wanted another few minutes of solitude anyway.
Seravath hummed, leaning just as slightly against Oncaeth while he was still there. She’d decided Oncaeth and his rider were okay, even if they had inconvenient choices in bathing times. She could get past how very bronze Oncaeth was sometimes, and as long as his rider didn’t make a habit of commandeering Z’kel’s coveted private bath time, he was acceptable too.
We can eat meals together sometimes, she informed Oncaeth seriously.
