"In more words I suppose you did." Raising an eyebrow as it seemed to be that the kid wasn't in on his mother's pregnancy...but that was Zahara's thing to know after all. She was her own woman...though he wondered if it was the same father as her others. "Oh sorry...I thought you knew..." Rubbing at the back of his neck some with a slight grimace. Whoa boy. "So it's just hormones, let her calm down a bit. Come on, lets get out of here."

He looked uncomfortable there for a minute as if he shouldn't have said that but it was too late now. The secret was out and he was privy to it. "No excuse," he mumbled darkly then slid off the stool and slung his bag over his shoulder before following Nadai. Hey, he didn't know where he lived.

"Just keep close, don't need you tripping over things too much and breaking things." Leading the boy onward but making sure that he was keeping up. Soon enough they were coming to his place which really was a simple two story place, little stable on the side. A horse stuck his nose out and gave a noise as they passed to which he pet the creature. "Hello Jin, we have a guest so behave yourself." Letting him in, he took his pack from him. Simple indeed, living space and kitchen and a bathroom downstairs, and then upstairs were two bedrooms and another bathroom. "You hungry or anything?"

He wanted to snap at Nadai that he wasn't a baby and certainly knew how to walk, but the minute he stood up he felt the effects of the alcohol and wasn't so sure. Steadying himself slightly, he just nodded and followed behind rather slowly. A nod to the horse and he walked inside, moving in and flopping on the couch. "No." Big violet eyes glanced around. "Thanks for...doing this. I won't be in your way or anything."

"Don't worry about it. If you need anything just ask or go rummaging yourself. THere's a room upstairs with a bed that's spare if you'd rather crash there." The boy was probably going to pass out into a reverie soon enough. "I'm going to be outside for a moment to feed Jin if you need me, alright?"

He could handle that. "Got it." Watching him go, he slowly climbed the stairs, finding the empty room next to his bedroom and flopped on the bed facedown with his clothes and boots still on. His head was beginning to throb and he wondered if it had been a good idea leaving. He could feel his mother's emotions worming their way through his own bond and he growled under his breath then slammed the doors on his bonds. He was done.

He found the boy just like he expected and he gave a whistle, seeing if he was out and when no response came he headed downstairs and grabbed the link crystal that Zahara had left him when she had visited to check on Jin. Holding it in his hand he plopped down on the couch with a sigh, "Zahara? It's Nadai. You there?" Was he working this thing right?

Actually in reverie when her son cut off bond communication, she sat straight up and nearly screamed. Last time she'd lost bond communication, both he and Sevilin had been fighting for their lives quite literally. Glancing around, she didn't see her husband but heard a voice. The linkstone was picked up and she waited a beat. "Nadai? Is Jin alright?"

A scream had him fumbling his linkstone and almost dropping it but he managed to keep hold of it. "S-sorry?" Shaking his head lightly and settling where he was. "Um he's fine...I just wanted you to know that I have your son. He's staying with me for a bit. Teenager stuff you know? I didn't want you to worry about him."
He had been up looking for said son and had bolted back upstairs at his wife's screaming. Seeing her talking into a linkstone though he tilted his head in puzzled fashion...before frowning at the voice that he recognized.

"You...have Zykariel?" Not really computing for a moment before she sprang up once more. A thousand questions began cycling through her mind. Is he alright? When is he coming home? Why didn't he leave a note or tell someone where he was going? And why did he lock out his bonds? She was on the verge of tears now. Sniffing and trying to maintain her composure, she paused a moment and then cleared her throat. "Nadai, you tell him to come home this minute."

Seeing her in that obvious distress and feeling it as well from he, he walked into the room and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, pulling her close to him in comforting fashion as he listened to what was going on.
He could hear the termor in his voice and instantly went about preparing himself. "No no Zahara, don't be upset. He's quite fine. A little drunk but fine otherwise. He's mostly just upset...apparently things have been rough around there lately. He mentioned you'd hit him earlier and he didn't know you were pregnant either. Just needs a little time away to get his head straight. I think you should let him have his space."

She was upset but she was also grateful for her husband's presence. Closing her eyes and leaning into his chest, she listened to Nadai and shook her head. "I didn't mean to hit him. The pencil flew out of my hand and smacked him in the cheek. It was an...accident..." Very upset now, she felt tears begin to snake down her face. "He shut off his bonds, Nadai. I don't know how he's feeling or what he's up to." He could think all he wanted but he wasn't a parent. "Will you keep me informed?"

"Hey I'm not asking for a story. Besides, what you do is what you do. I'm just telling you so that you don't worry when he doesn't come home maybe for a few days. I'll take good care of him and of course I'll keep you informed on everything. But he just needs a little down time, maybe some racer bonding and things will be fine.

No, he hadn't but she couldn't deny that she felt a bit better having told him one. It really was the truth and it sounded like Zykariel was exaggerating. Sevilin had been there though and seen it firsthand so she wouldn't have to do any explaining to him. "I suppose. It has been rather tense here lately and it will probably do us both some good to just get away from each other." Shaking her head and sighing. "Just make sure he knows that I do love him and he's welcome home anytime."

"I will, no worries." And thusly he shut the thing off by putting it down and walking away. Heading upstairs to his own room he resolved to let Zykariel chill for the rest of the night.
Sevilin pressed a kiss to his wife's temple. "It'll be fine. He loves you too much to stay away forever." The boy did love his mother and his insecurity of family would bring him back sooner or later...not a good thing really but at the same time it was dependable. "And when he does we'll sit him down and tell him all the new little changes." Like her being pregnant.
Late the next morning however, he was shaking Zykariel lightly to wake the boy from his trance. "You going to reverie all day or are you going to get up and get some food in your stomach? Racers can't work on empty bellies."
