"Walking trouble, eh? Remember, she hasn't learned to run yet", Nemesis chuckled deeply as he watched the child's curiosity grow more about her surroundings. Heaven help them once she got older and could get into more things. He could see the trouble she could get into around these parts and would have to make sure that the place was Wisteria proof. After all, she would be spending a lot of time here from the look of things, not that the God would have minded it. Being with Angela meant getting to know everything in her life, which included Wisteria and the other children that weren't his. In comparison, Nemesis' life was an open book to the Mother.
He smiled at the girl as she was entertained by his antics before nodding. "Of course. He should be heading back today. I have Maalik out by the harbors waiting for him, and he will signal me when he's on his way to the house." There was no telling how the twins were going to react to any of the news that their parents had for them. He could only wish that they would hear them out with an open mind. Having the two sides of the same man as separate fathers were going to drop some jaws in the very least. Then they would have to learn about the brother they never knew about and that he and their mother had made an arrangement. His thoughts went back to his daughter, who must have been as big as a house at this point. That and still tormenting her younger brother. "I suppose that's one way of dealing with her. Hope for his sake that her appetite decreases then."
They took the conversation into a much warmer room and soon the toddler was at it again, but this time she stumbled over to Celeste, refusing help from her mother in the most stubborn of ways. She took hold onto his wife and after an engaging conversation, she outdid herself by making sure that the fireplace was not for her before exploring onward. "Don't be surprised if she wants to climb trees in a few years. Then mountains will soon follow by god knows what else", he spoke before he received the awaited message from his avatar. "They are on their way. I had my avatar pick him up from the ship. Shouldn't be too much longer now." He decided to move over towards Wisteria and tap her on the back to get her attention and hunched over to get closer to her level. "You good, Wis?" Afterward, he played around, following her and explained what it was that would capture her attention. The bit went on until he heard the door open and Sergei entered the foyer along with a tall, jet black-haired young man. "Hello, father."
Sergei bowed before moving to his mother and kissed her cheek. "Mother." His crimson eyes then look to Angela. "Ah, Lady Angela. How have you been, madam?" He bowed to her and noticed the little redhead that looked a lot like her. "Is she yours? ma'am?" He moved towards her and waved. "Hi, I'm Sergei."
"Sergei, this is Wisteria. Wisteria, this is Sergei", Nemesis proclaimed, though he already knew what she was going to call his son and chuckled softly.
"Come and sit, we are waiting for a few more guests. We…have something to tell you, son."
While he was seeking to rest up from his long boat trip, the young lord did as he was told and took a seat on one of the unoccupied couches, wondering what was so dire that they would have to speak with him for. "Mother, is everything alright?", he asked, his voice filled with concern. If Angela was here, that must have meant something was seriously wrong. Even he knew about his father's disdain for her, despite everything she had done for the Volkov. He wouldn't have her here unless it was a last resort. "Who else are we waiting for?"
"You will see, Sergei", his father promised him before nodding to Angela.
