Deldrach Akadon. She wasn't someone that Roan knew particularly well, but he did know her significance to those around The Typhoon. He knew she had a connection with Goldie – even though said connection had been somewhat strained by Goldie's accident – and that she had been around for a long time. Needless to say, the soothsayer held a great deal of respect for Del, and had felt a significant amount of anger festering within him when he had to treat the aftermath of her eye being stolen. Still, he had gotten revenge for her eventually, in the form of Caesar's eyeball, which still sat floating in a jar within the temple. Eye for an eye had only seemed fitting.

When Deldrach had essentially disappeared from day to day life, Roan hadn't been particularly surprised. He figured she needed time to recover, and it wasn't as if others simply dropping off the face of the Earth for a while was unusual. It had become commonplace for the siamese, and considering he hadn't noticed any signs of her being taken, he saw no reason to worry. He had been the same way with Rosemary... somewhat. Even he could admit that he had been taken aback by her stepping down from her sage position, and part of him had been terrified he'd never see her again. He was worried his aunt would simply fade into the background once more, and maybe this time... never return. He tried to push those feelings down, however, not wanting to dwell on them for long – they would only distract him from his work.

However, life seemed to have a funny way of planning things. Think of the devil and he shall appear, they said. In this case, he supposed it was think of the devils, and they shall appear. There they were. Deldrach and Rosemary. Out and about. Not faded into nothingness. Roan couldn't deny the tiny leap of excitement his heart took as he approached, although that excitement was hardly reflected on his face. Instead, he had his usual neutral expression as he walked over, greeting Deldrach lightly, "Deldrach... it's good to see you again. I was beginning to worry that the loss of your eye had driven you inside for the rest of your days." Even with his usually blunt and dry tone, it was fairly clear that his last sentence had been a joke.

The medic then finally allowed himself to look over at Rosemary, briefly digging his claws down into the ground beneath him before he finally managed to speak, "And it's good to see you too, Rosemary. It's been... a while." That was to say the least, in the draconic feline's opinion. He didn't feel angry at his aunt, though. Instead, he merely seemed vaguely choked up. Mainly because... well, he had missed her.
