LIAM
It's not that we don't talk
Remi arrived without fanfare. Liam didn't know the man well - they'd met once before, briefly, when Liam came to a party as a tagalong with Maea - but he might have expected something less... human from a demigod. Instead, he came looking as tired as Liam might have guessed he'd be, tending to newborn twins, and offered a small, genuine smile to the ex-soldier. Liam returned it, crossing the room to offer a hand to shake. "I haven't been here long," he hastened to assure Remi. "And I understand completely." He remembered those early days, when his own daughters had first been born. Sleep had been a foreign concept as he'd tried to be as helpful as he could be to his wife, tending the girls by her side.
Unsure what to do or say next, Liam stood awkwardly for a moment before continuing hesitantly. "I... hope you don't think me rude to get right to the point," he said. "But I know you're busy, and if you're anything like I was, I doubt you wish to be away from your children for long." Pausing again, he looked out through the window and across the waves, momentarily brought back to a time long ago, when things had been simpler. Then, as though shaking himself, he looked back to Remi. "My daughters died when the Ascended attacked Stormbreak," he said bluntly. "Or... well, I thought they did. I recently saw a young woman who I think is my daughter, Wren, but she doesn't know me. I was hoping... if you could tell me if she's in Mort's halls, then maybe it will help me decide what to do next."

It's just no one really listens and honesty fades
