"He was looking for you, not me. It's not my fault you were off with your friends or something and didn't leave so much as a note. I said I was sorry!" There's far too much theatrics in both men for this to obviously be a point of contention. It may have been immediately after the fact but egos and feelings have long since been soothed over. "We can introduce you to anyone you like, by the way. His family or my crew. All of Alpha is here plus Bones, and a few of Felix's relatives have come as have most of Stratos' unit."

The captain stops pretending to be put out to turn his attention squarely back on Caspar and Adia a moment. He's never much talked to either of them about their gods or religions--at the end of the day coming form two space faring peoples among a sea of those who don't has always been a more easy line of conversation. He's curious, too.

"No. I've seen the rest of your family now. I know better." So does his liver. There's no time to actually wince though when Felix admits there's a whole line of potion types he's somehow neglected to tell his husband about at all. He looks between Caspar and Felix a few times. Can you believe this???

"Wait, there are? Where were those when we were trying to finish all the preparations? Or during the outbreak of Ruvarian flu we had a couple months ago where Bones and I were pulling triple shifts?"
