mal's reaction is not entirely unexpected (nor, in okeanos' mind, unwarranted) but he flinches anyway at the force of his words. the desperate, silly urge to reach out somehow and soothe his friend nearly overtakes him -- he takes a half step after mal before he catches himself. something tells him that will only makes things worse. instead he forces himself to sit, his ears laying back against his head.
"no, you're not alone," okeanos says quietly, "and you're right about him. i'm sorry if i shouldn't have told you." but you should know, he adds mentally. not to be sad about it, though okeanos wonders if somewhere, secretly, he is, but because it seems -- important. to know. then again, blood family is so ingrained in okeanos as important, as something to track, regardless of relationship... maybe it is different for mal. it occurs to him than mal probably doesn't even know about his younger siblings; that, though, he doesn't bring up--maybe mal's right and it doesn't matter at all.
