Ouranos nodded with interest as Zaria replied, his gaze still fixed on her. He still couldn't quite believe that she was actually related to him - the only family he'd ever had in the past were his parents (at least by blood), and they were currently countless miles away. It struck him that he might not ever actually get to see his family again, and for a moment, his smile faltered. It wasn't until the starkness of this reality hit him that he realized just how separated he now was from his home. Perhaps that was the first step towards accepting the way of the world and actually beginning to make a life for himself here. Up until now, all he'd really been doing was surviving, at best. Maybe Sekhmet had the right idea after all - it was time for him to stop chasing the past and start building a future.
He seemed to come back to himself and the present, and he offered a smile for both of the female Soveri. "Well, you're certainly very mature for your age," he said to Zaria. "As far as I can tell, at least you're much less of a troublemaker than I was when I was your age. My mother never let me live that down," he added with a chuckle. It really was a shame though, that Lassendira had to miss the tournament, but Ouranos was beginning to think that perhaps it could be seen as a blessing in disguise. After all, who didn't want young ones of their own to nurture and raise, and to carry on one's legacy and memory for the years to come? He, for one, had always wanted to be a father - he'd just never really thought about who he would have children with in the past, and most certainly not pertaining to Sekhmet.
Zaria's question startled him out of his thoughts, and he stumbled over his words for a moment as he tried to figure out how to best explain the situation, especially to one so young. "Well..." he began slowly, still organizing his thoughts, "I'm actually not from around here." He spoke carefully, especially since he himself didn't entirely know all the facts behind his sudden arrival here on Evelon. "You see, I used to live in an entirely different land, completely different from this one. That's where I grew up. But not too long ago, I came here, and that's where I met your mother." He smiled over at Lassendira at the memory of that first meeting.
