Sure, he had known that his mama loved Greed, and it was hard to miss the way that his new uncles looked at each other, but seeing love was much different from truly understanding what it was really about. At first he had thought that love was something that kept people together, but considering he hadn't seen Greed in quite a long time, even after his new siblings were born... well, it didn't seem as though his and Roxie's love had kept them together. After that, he had thought that love was perhaps just something that made you very sappy around each other. After all, Uncle Trevor was constantly making little comments about loving Uncle Michael, and they tended to be so disgustingly sappy that it made Roan gag – something that his mother often jokingly joined in on. Despite this, he had also noticed that there were some couples that were in love that weren't overwhelmingly sappy with each other all the time. Like Sam and Goldie. While they had their moments, and they certainly seemed to be in love, they hadn't done anything gagworthy, and weren't constantly hanging off of each other, so how did one know what love really meant?

The little – well, not really quite so little, anymore – winged apprentice had been pondering this deep philosophical question when he heard his cousin's voice, his head raising up curiously when the question fell from her maw. Had anybody seen Sam? Well, he certainly hadn't seen the strange doecat – or apparently the doberman recently, according to mama and Michael – but the strange scent that accompanied Goldie's call made Roan push himself up to his paws. Little tail flicking behind him, the male trotted through the sand over to where Goldie was, his head tilted to one side. The sight of the food was enough to intrigue him, although he was only made further curious by the sight of the jacket, his eyes scanning over the carefully done embroidery as well as the leather beneath. He mumbled softly as he shifted, not acknowledging Marina's leaving beyond just a little flick of his ear, "I haven't seen her either, cousin... although I'm sure she'll be back soon!"

As if on cue with the boy's words, Sam padded her way over, a slightly bemused but happy look on her face as she took things in. Roan sort of just stared at his cousin's girlfriend for a moment before his eyes widened, an excited gasp leaving him. Looking back towards the captain, Roan spoke with a little bounce, "Oh! Oh, is she right Goldie? Did you make this stuff for her? Because that's so sweet! I'm sure she'll really like the jacket and the... uh, other stuff." He still wasn't exactly sure what his cousin had cooked, but he was sure that it was something good. Goldie wasn't exactly known for being a terrible cook.
