[ really the only thing that Ros can focus on is how this might make shit worse for Adder. how the god of the sea might try to claim that Adder orchestrated all of this in order to have some sway or pull in his domain. how this was some elaborate plan to claw at more power, even if Ros knows that the god of the underworld wishes for no such thing. if the circumstances were different, if he wasn't The Hound, and Kai wasn't heir to so much it wouldn't be an issue. well, it would be less of an issue, but--
Ros blinks at the question, realizing now how he wasn't paying that much attention to how this would be affecting Kai. how what he was saying might come off far more hurtful.]
Of course! I mean-- from what I know of you? Which I guess is mostly things in passing, but still, I don't want to be shallow and say you'd make a great husband just because you're gorgeous but I just-- fuck. It's all-- [ another whine. take pity on him, Kai, he is not an orator for a reason okay. he snarls and kills shit, he doesn't sway things with fancy words.] I'm so not good at this, I'm sorry.
[ he looks even more sorry when Kai says that his mother will be furious. he vaguely remembers her, from once upon a time, beautiful much like Kai, with a tempest of a temper.]
Yeah nothing between the sea and the land go over well, especially when orchestrated by the air. [ there is a snort at that, before:] Honestly, no. I was-- I was more focused on making sure no one tried anything with Adder. I mean, it is my job.
[ a small smile. ] You're mom wasn't wrong, I am usually pretty snarly at those things, never one for rules and political things myself. Just ... well, guarding I guess.
apparently this thread has all of ros;s attention SHRUG
