It had taken longer than Iosef liked to make his way to his father. Arriving had been...a fiasco. He had not intended to linger so long at the threshhold...and then between Chimera trying to start fights, and Romir making a fool of himself...and the alpha arriving...altogether, he was in a very bad mood by the time he finally made it to his destination. The sun was high and orange in the sky and he could tell that unless they turned around and left right now, there was no way they'd get home at a reasonable hour. It was looking more and more likely that they'd have to take Balios up on his offer to stay. It didn't help that after Balios dropped them off, he had cheerfully started off for the dens without another word, simply assuming they would spend the night. Curses.
Iosef braced himself as he stepped up to his father. He took a deep breath, as though preparing to do battle. "Hello, Adonai. I...thought you should get a chance to meet the rest of your grandchildren, as our last meeting..." he trailed off. No need to say what the last meeting had or hadn't been.
Adonai really wished someone had given him a little forewarning that this bombshell was going to be dropped on him tonight. He was in no mood for this. Still troubled over Tiyana's sudden disappearance, and more than a little nettled by Thrush's recent jabs, and now here was....a whole mess of family drama. Still, it wasn't their fault that things in his life were so confusing. He had to remind himself of that. And it was really rather a sweet gesture for his son to seek him out. Adonai had certainly never expected that, given how badly their last interaction had gone.
"Oh. Well." He looked over them, curiously. Had his visit been so long ago? They were all so BIG. He recognized Chimera among them, but he was the only one; the patchy female was not among them, which didn't surprise him honestly. "So they let you out to play for awhile, did they?" He asked, in an attempt to sound light-hearted, but it came out rather cold.
He closed his eyes, trying to find his center, and tried again. "Sorry if I'm a bit off-color -- nobody warned me I'd be getting visitors. I'm Adonai. You've all heard about me, I guess?"
