Unable to hear anything going on down the Attuned bond, Mateo is nonetheless used to conversations happening around him, and he gives Everest an affectionate scritch behind the ear and down into the thick ruff of furr around his neck as he listens to Sunjata. Honestly, he has no idea why his dads have so much against Frey (and against Frey's demigod, but he doesn't know how deep that goes at least). This all sounds amazing.
"But Vi and Mort are happy to go to war...?" He tilts his head, confused that the deities of LiFe and DeAtH are apparently happy for it to all go ahead. "Well, I'm glad that Frey wants to give us a chance. I think I would like it here, if we came to stay for the war." He smiles brightly. Mateo doesn't know it yet, but that's exactly what will be happening, because for all of his parents' flaws and biases, this is the safest place for him.
"Thanks for explaining everything, Sunjata. I hope this is all finished soon!"
