[align=center][div style="width: 45%; text-align: justify; font-size: 12pt; letter-spacing: -1px; font-family: times new roman;"]♡ — It's sort of... stunning, really. One moment Roan was dashing through the sand, halting only to shout out his clumsy call for introductions to the world, and the next minute he was positively surrounded by new faces. The first, unsurprisingly, is his Mother, with the usual warm and loving smile on her face. Even if Roan didn't truly fully understand the grand extent of how much his Mother did for him, he knew he loved her dearly, and she loved him dearly as well, and that was enough for him, even if there would one day be a day where he felt he could never repay Roxanne for everything she had done for him. As his Mother began to lick behind his ears, flattening out the little tufts of hair that stuck out messily from around his horns, the boy squirmed a little, squeaking out, "Buenos diaz, mama!" Despite his squirming over the sudden pampering, he sounded quite happy to have his mother around, which he even demonstrated by pressing back a little into her fluffy chest, a smile on his face.
However, Roxanne is hardly able to hold the child's attention for long, mainly because of the variety of different faces who show up quickly after her, the first being Kian, then Ahab, then a rather angry seeming man, and his father, Seamus. All with another unfamiliar face watching from a distance. Roan was so caught up in all of the excitement that the kit nearly didn't remember what he had gathered everyone around to do. He hadn't even said his name yet! He isn't quite sure why the big dark furred man was so angry, but it seemed as though his mama had it under control, so he focused his attention instead on Ahab and Kian first. Following his mother's soft nudging, the child pushed himself back up to his paws, his tail flicking excitedly behind him as he puffed out his chest, "My name's Roan Ó Fao... Fao... Faoláin-Roux! Roxanne's my mama, and my papa is-" Despite his stumbling over the pronunciation of his first surname, the child still seemed quite confident and focused on the task at hand. That was, of course, until his father actually appeared. It wasn't as if he didn't know Seamus or who he was, but thanks to his father's rather nontraditional career choice, Roan had only gotten to see him a few times before this point. As a result, immediately the kid found himself rushing at his father, moving to throw his small paws around the older male in a hug, "Seamus! My papa is Seamus! Dia dhuit, papa!" The young boy wasn't truly aware of what those words meant yet, but from what he could understand they were some sort of greeting, and Roan was always quick to replicate whatever his parents said.
After a moment of hugging the other, Roan pulled back, a happy lopsided grin on the child's face. His blue eyes went nearly comically wide at his father's next words, and he turned around, his eyes seeking out the male who had been identified as Kian. Once he caught sight of the other, he bounced a little, his back paws spraying up sand from beneath him as he attempted to stay upright to clap his paws. As he did so, he spoke excitedly, "Uncail? Oh, I'm so excited to meet you! Dia dhuit, uncail Kian!" Roan had known somewhat from previous conversations with his mother that he had plenty of family all around, but he hadn't exactly had a chance to truly meet them before now, so he was plenty excited.
Roan's excitement, however, was also short lived. As the child was excitedly bouncing, he heard his mother's tone change from nearby, her unusually harsh words directed towards the black jaguar who had come over earlier. Looking over, Roan blinked in mild confusion, listening to the conversation but not truly comprehending what was going on. What did it matter who his father was? Seamus was a good papa! Sure, he had been gone for a little while after Roan had been born initially, but he had come back, and he hadn't been anything but sweet... why was Greed so upset? Roan watched with a frown as Greed stalked off, away from both the conversation and the event that was going on. Tail drooping behind him, he turned to his mother, his voice soft, "Mama...? Did I do something wrong? Why is he leaving?" The child didn't understand how he had messed up his first real venture out into the outside world... had he said something that Greed didn't like?
