Broken Boulder you only hold me up like this 'cause you don't know who i really am

the question of where alarian and he stand at any given moment is obfuscated from him, but delight's reached a point where he's given up trying to think too hard about it. so much has happened that's kept them both busy between adjusting to being a single (ish) parent to his brood (and they're getting to an age where they actually require his input) to seabreeze and her cohort's arrival with their own children. 

delight makes himself easy to find, greeting his partner with a slow smile -- his mood has been vastly improved by seabreeze's presence, even if he hasn't had a chance to steal time with her yet. there is an anxiety to the way alarian is holding himself that makes his smile retreat, tilting his head instead. "what's up?" the chancellor asks, voice quiet, hoping it isn't anything -- hoping he's being overdramatic.
