"I wont press the matter on you, Dalcon. And when I see her again, I'll have to have a word with Aven. She had no right to hide who you are from you."

Reeve hops down from the treeline, immediately falling and rolling as if seeing the boy provided some sort of mental speedbump. Turning in a hurry, Dalcon sees the man and immediately draws his sword.

"Put your sword away, Dalcon. There will be no fighting."
Sarya moved in front of the boy to block him from Reeve.

Reeve, sharing much the same facial expressions that Dalcon had when he saw Sarya, looks up from his crouched position at the boy, jaw hanging agape and speechless.
Dalcon still holds his sword at the ready, shaking his head.
"I can't take this. I'm gonna cut him down, and if he's my father, all the more reason!"

"NO!"
As she cried out she moved to Dalcon's side and wraps her arms around the boy, avoiding the sword.
"What did she tell you? What did she say to make you want to hurt Reeve?"

"He left me there, with her!"
He squirms and writhes, trying to break free as Reeve gazes on him, still shocked by his presence and appearance.

Tears were started to stream down Sarya's face as she moved back slightly to gaze into the Dalcon's eyes.
"I told you, she took you from us. It was not our wish or desire for her to do so. Please, believe me. We've been looking for you for so long."

The boy frowns, watching this woman who claims to be his mother hold him as she cries, and behind him his hated father, staring him down like a mirror. Inexplicably, at least from his point of view, his eyes mist green and he starts to cry, to weep beyond control. As his bracelet starts to hum, albeit quietly this time, he buries his face in Sarya's neck.
"I don't know you...but please don't cry."

Sarya holds the boy tightly and continues to cry.
"Why didn't she tell you? We've missed you, we've been looking for you. Why did she never tell you?"

Reeve, now recovered, stands up and reaches out to touch Dalcon on the head, but the boy's eyes lock with his and harden, and with remarkable quickness, Dalcon reaches out and grabs his wrist, throwing it away. Reeve again falls to his knees, looking up at Dalcon and Sarya.
"I should have taken you home when I had the chance..."

A small black cat emerges from the shadows several feet behind Reeve and watches the three curiously.

As the cat emerges, Reeve starts to swear violently, then bites his lip, even now trying to shield that from his son. Even still, he flies into one of his trademark rages, unintentionally painting a clear picture for Dalcon of 'where he gets it.' Grasping in vain for a sword that isn't there, he runs for the cat.
"Damn you, you could have taken us straight to him so many times! I could kill you, Tobias!"

The cat disappears back into the shadows as quickly as he had appeared. He then reappeared on Dalcon's shoulder only to have both the boy and himself disappear again into the shadows.

Reeve stops short, his eyes wide with disbelief. He finds himself literally unable to blink as he stares at his wife, and the prints where his son used to be.
"You're kidding me...This can't be happening. Not again. No. No, no, no, NO!"
He quickly runs to Sarya, wrapping his arms around her as Dalcon had. Trying to control the damage, he runs his hands through her hair.
"Sweetheart, he's alive, we've seen him, we've felt him, we know he's here..."
