AMALIA
She knows he said the child ages differently, but the declaration of her age still takes Amalia by surprise. Reeling from the revelation in general, she struggles to compute this last piece of information. "Seren," the Shield repeats, moving back enough to give Remi some space. "I didn't know Safrin wanted a child." Her right hand rubs over her left wrist, things unsaid beneath it.
There's silence as she processes this, trying to sort out her conflicting emotions. "Safrin has always favored Ronin," Amalia says at last. Her words are slow, carefully selected, dark eyes searching Remi again. "And you were such good fathers to Aoife... it's no wonder she wanted you to raise her child."
