Short and awkward post. Ehno's kinda doing things of his own accord now, lol.
Realization slowly began to dawn on the Marino once he saw Kansas's reaction to Jazper's stinging and accusing looks. There was no way some simple little joke like that would prompt the cream-furred man to curl in on himself or cause the tears to well up in his cerulean eyes as they did. The tentative, unsure smile that clung to Ehno's lips slowly began to fall away. He almost didn't hear Kansas's self-loathing words, being so caught up in the thoughts he was slowly processing. His brother-in-law had really done that? But... when? When could that have happened. It had been ages since Naniko had left, and even longer since Lucifer had last been seen around here. Why was this only coming to light now? The Marino could only watch Kansas in stunned silence.
As soon as Jazper stood, Ehno was snapped back into reality. With the giant man towering over them, throwing around such strong and angry words, the Marino suddenly realized that things could be turning real ugly. Ehno stumbled to his own feet and tried to position himself between the two men. "Jazper," he warned, sending him a glare. "Back off." Golden eyes glanced down at Kansas's shaking form briefly. Certainly the Italian man wasn't pleased to be discovering this now, but he wasn't going to let his anger make him do something he would later regret. Of course this revelation stung Ehno's pride, but hell, it had it have happened so far in the past, who was Ehno to judge? What a hypoctrite he would be if he wouldn't let himself see past this now.
