His orange eyes are still focused on the other orange-eyed creature - Thorunn. He likes the sound of it, it sounds of strength. The way she stares at him, those eyes so curious yet so bland, turns his heart a bit. He will teach her everything he knows...and Val too. They are two heads of the same coin, and perhaps together they will create the heir he'd always dreamed of. No more sad mistakes wandering the world in their lost hopelessness. These were his true masterpiece.
He wonders, briefly, if Librette feels the same way.
He watches as Val bumps noses with her sister, who hesitantly returns the gesture. "Val." Her reply is short and sweet, and she seems very assured in her answer. Yes, just Val, much like she will always be Sissy. Thorunn watches her twin wander to Covet with the same passive look she's given everyone else. She is not so curious, content instead to watch her sister make friends.
"I am Covet, your father," he says, and for once his voice isn't that sickening bland gravel of a noise it usually is. It is quiet and almost kind, though so misplaced from the chapped lips of the scarred ex-king. He says it for her and also for the other newcomers, who've come to pay their respects.
They should - they're looking at the future.
