Well, Roxanne hadn't wanted to keep the child a secret although, she had no clue that she was expecting until she had began to gain a lot of weight. It was embarrassing really though she didn't regret having Roan for a single second even if the pregnancy had been a bit more painful than well, any pregnancy she had ever heard of. She loved her child and well, he became the anchor in her life that provided her a form of stability. The only thing that made her worry was the possible harm that would come to her boy, she spent all those nights with him and never left his side, sometimes forgetting to even eat or drink. It made her paws slightly itch at the thought of even briefly leaving him for a quick break, she found most of her sacrifices to be worth it though her small baby was growing and soon enough he wanted to go out to see the world for himself. Yet her heart aches at the slightest thought of him being anywhere else but in her arms, Roxanne had felt so many forms of love yet this one tugged at her heart the most. Motherly love. The kind she never got once from her own mother who never even gave her the time of day just because Roxanne had been born different than her siblings, she had wings and nubs that would soon be horns whilst her siblings had been normal kittens. She had been the freak and frankly, the weakest of the litter. She had felt actual love with Planecrash and Greed, sisterly love towards her sisters and brother, familial love towards all her relatives yet the one she felt now was new and welcomed immediately.

Roan wanted to see the outside world, Roxanne would always tell him that it was much too dangerous for such a babe like him. But, as the kitten grew older well, she couldn't keep him in her protective embrace forever was what she realized. She would have to let him spread his limbs and wings soon, all birds left the nest though the thought pained her so much. It was late at night that she had felt the horns of his son prodding her side, her half lidded eyes gently fixated on her child knowing what he desired the most. She couldn't say no to him any longer and promised that he could outside tomorrow in the morning even if she was inwardly hesitant about letting her kitten see the big wide world that often was cruel. She had struggled to sleep that night having her wing draped over Roan as she gently breathed looking to one of the walls in the nursery hut, she would have to find a new home so she and Roan could live within it. It would be a new start for the both of them.

Roxanne had fallen asleep from her lack of sleep last night, her eyes fluttered open realizing that her baby wasn't near her side anymore and she immediately jolted upwards glancing around with widened pupils. Her fur puffed up with sudden hostility until she heard his voice outside did she breathe out in relief, she made her way out of the hut only to see her son playing in the sand. It gave her a feeling of sudden warmth and pride, she was currently raising the boy by herself though she hadn't seemed to mind at all. She knew one day, she would have someone to love and they'd have a family of their own. . . Roan would be a big brother and all would be well in the Typhoon. The Siamese trotted over towards the smaller feline beginning only to lick between his ears "Buenos diaz," She purred quietly deciding to fix his fur up a bit before anyone else saw him. He was her pride and joy, how could she not fawn over him? "character's speech."

Being the overly fatherly and doting faerie he was, Kian sat upright at the obviously childish voice ringing in the air.  Unfamiliar with Roan, the Irishman grinned and obediantly followed the call.  His sea-green eyes gleamed, quickly putting the connection between Roxanne and the energetic young boy.  "Hello then."

"It's nice to meet you, do you 'ave a name?" He took a polite seat, resting his tail over his paws as he regarded the child warmly.  "'m Kian." Uncle Kian, he would learn soon enough, should he not be mistaken for his twin first.

He was never a child himself. While Ahab has no memory of it, he is certain that he was not small, nor did he come from a mother's womb. He was created with the heart of a stone, quite literally. His kind was made from a Philosopher' Stone, an artificial human as they called them, a creation against nature that wasn't meant to exist. But here he was anyway, existing.

With his lack of experience of a childhood, he never really knew what to make of kids. A part of him envied them, maybe, a part that desired a normal life like any human had. He wished he had a normal family, people who didn't just use him for their own benefit, to do their bidding for them. He would never be a slave, never again. He had his own goals and dreams to fulfill.

He comes across the scene in the most inopportune time, just as those words left Ahab's mouth. "...Your son?" he hears and when he sees who it's directed at, his mind blanks. He hardly looks over at the actual kid, too dumbfounded to actually take a second and think about it. Then he's angry. His face flushes as he clenches his jaw, suddenly tense, uncharacteristic of him.

Greed stares holes into Roxanne. "Who's is it?" he asks in a deep tone, how he was feeling clear in the way he spoke. As much as he wanted to, he wouldn't explode just yet, not until she answered. Then he would throw a temper tantrum, Roan's presence be damned.

A memory of two lively boys played in the back of the faerie's mind.  A pair of brothers saying hello to their crew for the first time, their parents standing by with fond eyes -- a nontraditional family, but Séamus always cared deeply for his children.  Wherever they are...

Returning from the Pitt to learn of a young, energetic son, caught him off-guard.  Guilt came to him rarely, but the Irishman had known it with Keona, and he knew it with Roan -- he felt his mission had been important of course, he still had been woefully absent for the boy's first moons.  A spy's misfortune.

Hearing the vibrant voice call for attention, Séamus came trotting along.  His perked ears flicked at questions poised and smiling greetings traded.  Obvious ire in Greed's voice particularly, the Irishman tilted his head.  "He is my son," perhaps only obvious from the splashes of green across the young lad's body -- a reminder that many of the Ó Faoláin's possessed eyes of the same color.

His eyes return to the boy, warming considerably. "Dia dhuit, Roan." Another nontraditional family, but the boy would know the love and care of two parents.  "Kian is my brother, your uncail."

Roxanne smiled at her boy before her gaze drifted over to Kian, who she admittedly mistook for Seámus upon first sight until he introduced himself. She decided to give Roan some space after she felt that he was now presentable to all of those around him, she offered a small nod over to Kian before her attention diverted over towards the large bear that had recently joined only to take in his question. Her son. She opened his jaws as she spoke with much pride "Yes, he's my son. I very much cherish and love him, a mother couldn't have been any prouder." She purred at last only to turn her gaze to her son gently speaking to him "Introduce yourself, sweetie. Don't be shy," Of course, by no means was she rushing her child to speak if he didn't feel comfortable about it. She thought everything was going rather well until she heard hear large pawsteps, she could feel her insides churning from within since she had caught the scent of someone very familiar. Oh, she was well aware that he would be pissed to see her with a child. Did she regret it? Not really. Had she wished it had been with someone else rather than Seámus? Very much so but, all things fell in place and she didn't have much control when she had that one night stand.

"Who's is it?"

She turned to face him with her own stern expression with fluffy tail lifted, the fur along her spine slightly prickled. He didn't have much of a right to be angry at her, it wasn't like they had been together or none of this would have occurred to begin with. Her pupils turned into dangerous slits as her tail lashed to the sides, she didn't know how to feel but she wasn't going to let Greed be mad at her for something that actually brought her happiness despite the circumstances and the sacrifice she had to make to conceive Roan. "Does that really matter right now? He's my child and it doesn't matter who was or wasn't his father, Greed." She should have known better than to take that jab at the jaguar but, she seriously didn't want some shitfest to unfold on the first day that she had permitted Roan to go outside. She inwardly groaned as the father of her kitten showed up, claiming the kid as his own. She let out a frustrated snort as she returned to her son's side rather protectively, she'd bite anyone if they even tried to ruin his first day outside. "character's speech."

Ouch. She was right, he didn't have the right to get all up in arms, but he couldn't help himself. He cared about her a great deal and he couldn't stop the whole thing from getting under his skin.

He narrows his eyes at Seamus, silently seething at the confession, especially how carelessly it was said. Everyone should care about how he felt, right? His mood sours even more at the words that leave Rox's mouth, a scowl on his face. So, she was going to be like that. He lowers his eyes, staring daggers down at the ground as fire burned inside his chest, even a hint of shame crawling it's way in. Okay, if they wanted to make him look like a fool, then he would just fucking beat it.

"Fine." the black jaguar grumbles. He doesn't even give Roan a glance before he turns away, angrily walking away, probably to sulk in his room. He didn't know all the details, so he naturally assumed that they could have been together. So she had gotten over him then? Was she just stringing him along like a puppet on a string? Either option left a bitter taste in his mouth.

So why not drown it out with some of the tavern's alcohol? A retreat into his room forgotten, he changed gears and made his way towards said building.
