Kaspar glanced up at Rehv, giving him a soft smile. He felt so bad for the other man, it hurt. He'd never seen him like this, even before Bronte was around. "Good morning, Rehv," he said, nodding to him, "Want some coffee? I just had Nelly go get a fresh pot. Thought it would do us all some good, even if I'm sure all of us would prefer liquor." He tried to let out a chuckle, but it didn't come out quite right. It was just hard to pretend to be happy around a man who was so sad.
Nikolas looked taken back at the reveal. He put down his drink, and his eyes went... dark. "Well," he said, smirking a bit, "It's nice to see you, Thorne." He went silent for a moment, tilting his head to the side. He called over one of his guards, whispering something in his ear, then sending him away. "Fine," he said, nodding, "I'll let Bronte go in return for having you in my custody." Then a deadly smirk spread across his face. Leaning across the table, he tilting his head to the side. "But what are you going to give me for the child?" He raised his eyebrows, waiting for the man's reaction.
