//retro to injury
Octavio had been vaguely aware of Roxanne's pregnancy, in an audience member kind of way. Aware that it was an important part of her life, but he didn't know her personally enough to really... care. His therapist had pointed that kind of behavior out to him. Octavio never slowed down or shut up long enough to actually listen to others. He was too distracted by his own thoughts and his own schemes to be with others. He was too selfish, too loud, but didn't consider that bad. That was just... who he was. Fuck, he was paid to be that way. His persona brought him unabashed glory and fame, people fucking loved him for it. If he liked himself, and his fans liked him, why change?
Octavio could never have kids. That implied slowing down, retiring, changing his lifestyle- he couldn't do that. Caustic wasn't fucking interested in the idea either, because they understood that was not their intimacy. They were partners but not partners, and Octavio was fine with that. He was a "here for a good time, not a long time" kind of guy.
So, when he approaches the group, Octane halts. He doesn't really know what to say that wouldn't be.. half-hearted, disingenuous, or make himself seem serious. But he tries, "Uh... Congratulations?"
