She nodded, watching him go. "I won't be long."

DamiN went in search of Alessia once he had left his parents rooms

"I have nothing to apologies for." Seren answered coldly. "I have defended the girl when I have thought she needed it, and made me disapproval clear when she has been in the wrong. I won't be sorry for that, I don't care who fathered her child, it makes little difference to her actions."
