Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jeremiah half-laughed before he sighed and squeezed Algie's hand back. "Not exactly, no. Though I suppose it's some sort of grand coincidence ..." Or perhaps it was not. His fingers tapped the side of the wine, what was left of this bottle, and it was chilled all over again as he poured it.

"You stated it already," he said slowly after a drink, "that the triplets are still fundamentally human. So Pax is likely not Pax, Pride is probably not Pride, and we know for a fact that the Sorrowful One- that Noeh is not her name. It was Minerva Mercer, though she went by Mina."

Then he was taking another drink because Algie had met Mina. Also let it kind of settle there for a moment about the irony of a Mercer being in charge of the Noble Court.

"Mercer?" Leila repeated, quietly. "You two... holy s**t."

She really didn't need to say much more to communicate how deeply she and Eve understood that this was Kind of a Big Deal.

"I didn't forget.." He smiled a bit and looked at his lap. Alg really did try not to think too much into things until he knew them to be certain facts. Presumption led to disappointment and feeling like an absolute idiot.

He did sigh, "No you aren't alone in complicated children situations." Alg felt nervous then, fingers twitching as he leaned forward from Jeremiah to give himself more wine.

"Another glass of wine." He offered the bottle up for a top off if any of them wanted, "And I'll show you a picture of my daughter."

That would round a night of revelations just fine.

Maybe they shouldn't have drank so much.

His hand found Jeremiah's and he reassured again, "We'll work it out. I'm sure of it."
