Ugh, I keep feeling like Ryan should reply. >_o Sorry. It's weird to assume they're talking about something but not knowing exactly what XD;
His tail's movements gradually dampened then ceased as his attention was drawn away from his daughter--they had a lot of catching up to do, apparently! He frowned inwardly at the mention of the young man's name, though his expression remained neutral. Yes... he recognised this one now. He was at the root of the tensions between Phoenix Valley and Inferni; he was the one Kaena had spats with before. That would make things interesting.
For everything, though, DaVinci certainly had one thing going for him... he wasn't Hybrid. Anselm's tail wagging resumed as he was introduced to his two newest grandchildren and he stepped forward to gently nudge the cranky boy in Ryan's arms. They were both so tiny and the information was a little overwhelming to process all at once.
He peered at Zana and wearily dipped his head, recalling something suddenly. "Oh yeah, Firefly was looking for you," he told her. "She lives in Cour des Miracles now," he said, still uncertain of their connection and even more oblivious as to whether or not Firefly might have been in Dahlia the last time they'd seen each other.
"You should all come inside, though. The border's no place for young children, now especially," he said, gesturing for them to follow. As with Valkyrie, while he was happy to see his family return, he half-wished they'd stayed away until the end of the conflict, safely out of the line of fire. "Dahlia and Inferni are at it again," he clarified as they walked. "So you're all coming back?" he wondered aloud after a pause.
Mediating between the boy and the other leaders would be a task, but he figured the sooner they got it out of the way, the better. He didn't disillusion himself into thinking the other two leaders would ever like the boy, but he hoped they'd at least tolerate him for Ryan and the children's sake--in much the same way he tolerated Hybrid and Samael for Inferni's sake. Besides, during their time of need could they really afford to turn away an able-bodied man with so much to fight for?
