Aryin was pacified with Larry's response about loving him -- He, himself, was not even remotely close to being in love with Larry, not yet anyway - Could he see being in love with him, down the line, in the future? Yes, probably. But their night together, alcohol aside, was just Aryin getting to know him, seeing if they could have sparked an interest in each other - which, by the way his stomach was growing steadily, they clearly had a few more sparks than they anticipated.

Aryin set his hand on Larry's, lightly interlacing their fingers and giving a comforting squeeze "We will raise our son together, dad. You don't need to worry about us, I promise." Aryin smiled sweetly at his father - it was sickly innocent and told of having to use that face for many years just to get his way.

Romeo sighed warily and sat back down, rubbing a meaty hand over his pudgy face - he was cracking under the pressure of his son's angel face "Okay... Okay." he relented "I hear that you hurt him, just once, Laurentius... And you won't want to know what pain comes upon you." Romeo said, staring directly at Lauren with a deadly look in his green eyes "One hair that ever is misplaced from his head at your hand, and we will be speaking again, at great lengths." Romeo stated - Oh, the threat was definitely implied, but Romeo's tone was so dramatically reduced from the earlier anger towards Larry - perhaps softened by the fact that he was going to become a grandfather for the first time, or because it had to do entirely with the fact that it was his first born son's life and heart at risk here - whatever the case, Romeo's normal anger towards situations had been reduced and it made for more pleasant conversation, even if there were threats of bodily harm - or death - involved.

Aryin smiled warmly at his father and gave Larry's hand another affectionate squeeze before releasing the younger man "I do not think things will come to that. He's an honorable man, father." Aryin said - although in truth, he was still lying through his teeth; he didn't know what would happen between Larry and himself as the months of his pregnancy progressed. He hope Larry didn't meet death because of any mistakes made, but he also doubted Larry would intentionally harm him or their child - Only time would tell, he guessed.
