[This time, at least, his displeasure is quieter as he listens--a stormcloud darkening his countenance, rather than a lightning-bright flare of righteous fury. What more can he really say, at this point? Condemning him too vehemently no doubt would just invite the bitter memories to linger, after all. Here and now, nothing more can be done about the matter. Should he ever have the opportunity to confront the man, though..... oh yes, there will be words.
If nothing else, the cloud passes soon enough. Seteth splutters a little in embarrassment, looking away; you'd think he'd be harder to fluster like this after being in a relationship with Rosie for so long, wouldn't you? It's hard not to be, when Ren is so bold. Even if it's probably the whiskey talking.....
Still, it can't hurt to stroke his hair, since Ren seems so keen on it, can it? No, he isn't digging himself deeper, what are you talking about? He's Serious and Dignified and Helpful, definitely not cute whatsoever.]
I-I..... well, you're not wrong. I do have a daughter. But that hardly seems relevant.
