He does, however, scoff at the claim that Pincher would never cheat. Maybe the kid's just being cynical, but he really has a hard time believing that. Although Pinch has improved...somewhat, Blue has yet to see tangible proof that his father is actually worthy of all the love and respect people seem to hold for him. At the arrival of Rosemary, the boy finds himself gravitating toward the company of his favorite relative--second only to Goldenluxury. He might have stayed longer, but Pincher finally says the words that break his resolve. "But if you aren't interested in the future, tell me so I can be prepared to fully take responsibility of them. I don't want them to be alone." Glacial blue eyes narrow into slits as the youth fixes the captain with a frigid glare. A wry laugh escapes his lips.

"Looks like you're finally learning how to be a parent," he says with a scoff, words laced with poison. "It's about fucking time." There is an underlying message to his outburst. It's clear that Coldblue resents that it took impregnating some crazy bitch and being outed in front of the whole clan to get Pincher to finally step up at a father. And Blue is jealous that he never got that sort of attention. Even now, it's only Goldie who ever is acknowledged. Not that it's much of a surprise. Blue knows he is a piece of shit, though he partially blames that on his father. He may be a piece of shit, but he is a piece of shit who wants to be loved, or at the very least recognized as a member of the family. Instead, he is overlooked and ignored. "Good luck with your custody battle," says the boy before he strides off, not even sparing a glance behind him as he stalks into the  foliage.
