Saiden's gaze followed Seren as she played her game with the griffin. However, when Sunjata gestured for the cook to follow the other man to the kitchen, the Hali slowly did so. Taking the water, he gave a grateful nod before sipping it. As he did, he moved to lean against one of the walls, not wanting to sit.
Arching an eyebrow at Sunjata's questions, Saiden nodded again, much more slowly again. "Aye. My sister Vanya was Aoife's mother." His expression darkened. "I never got to meet her, or reunite with my sister." His grief and guilt over that was clear.
Lifting his gaze he met the other man's eyes squarely. "But family is important to me. And I would never let harm come to someone I consider family."
The cook's eyes sought out Seren, but he frowned when he realized she wasn't visible. "Seren?" His call was gently concerned.
