Darkcomplex, or well, Lex, as he had decided to go back to now that he'd left SunClan wasn't sure what he'd expected when he'd decided to join the Regime, or what he thought Kaisra would be like. Well, Kaisra wasn't really surprising, she was quite like Glowstar in a lot of ways, though now that he'd seen more of Shule, he could see some of the similarities in there as well, even if his daughter might not realize it.

The silvery tom offered Sean a casual smile, one that was more fit for acquaintances than friends, but to be fair, they were fathers who shared kits... and little else. To each other they were strangers, and he wasn't quite sure where they stood with each other. But he wasn't about to hold a grudge, even if he was inwardly uncertain. The Sentinel appeared to be trying, so the Scout felt as though he should give it a fair shake as well. "If Dusky is happy, then I'm happy." The tom answered honestly. "Why? Are you concerned?"

"Well, it's not her life, is it?" Lex answered, tilting his head ever so slightly. It had been some time since he'd spoken with Glowstar, and the mere mention of her name made his chest ache, which is why he'd been avoiding her in the first place. Not that he'd had too many opportunities anyhow, with the break in the alliance that was only just repaired, and the fact it was hard to find her alone, without Funk E'tan or Foxbane at her side in many cases. He sighed softly. "I'd say I've had more interesting things happen to me, than call myself particularly special in any way. I gained my name the same day as Glowstar, and watched my entire litter slaughtered before me. I was forced into my marriage with her by Foxstar to keep her in line, and drugged with herbs to think I had fathered my kits. I ended up with Bluejay because Glowstar felt bad she hadn't actually given me kits, and then I had to keep Blue from killing Dusky and try to save her from herself when she spurred on an apocalypse. That's all very interesting, I suppose, but I was never part of it for being especially brave, or intelligent, or ambitious. I ended up in SunClan by chance, and truly thought the Sun God would help me. I was dragged into a cruel Priestess' demands through no decision of my own, though I'd never give up my kits for the world. Dusky, Kaisra, Bluejay, Serenity, Cinnamonsavage, they're my everything. I want them to be happy."

He leaned back on his paws and looked around for a moment, his mismatched eyes roving over everything without quite seeing as he lost himself to his thoughts a moment. "I grew to love Glowstar and her chaos, but she never loved me, so she left to find her own happiness. She has the right to be happy, and so does Dusky. So what if the girl he's seeing is 'normal'? Why does normal have to be a bad thing? If she brings out the best in Dusky, and she makes him feel like he is enough, even if he had none of those personas he likes to display, then who are we to stop him? It's not hurting anyone. Love doesn't have to be all about whirlwind moments and crimson tides. It can be the quiet moments when no one's around and you're simply comfortable in each other's presence, the moments where you work together towards a goal, no matter how small. This family I've been thrust into is insanity, it could use someone like Unseenlights to remind it why normal can be good."

"For a long time, I genuinely thought that SunClan was the best place." Lex shrugged. "After all, I had seen their god with my own eyes, and given up my entire family for them, that's all I had. I enjoyed being the strong ones, the chosen ones. It's easy to get sucked into that feeling of being placed above all others. But then, when Foxstar started using me as her pawn, that illusion faded. Not at first. I was handed Glowstar, and the kits we shared. I had a family again. But once I knew my kits were being used as pawns, when I saw that she'd be willing to throw them away the moment they were no use to her, I couldn't hold onto that idealized image of it all. It was no longer enough to believe in a god's care when all his worshipers committed atrocities in his name. I stayed there for Duskslayer, because I wanted him to know that he always had someone looking out for him, in the place that would try to control him most." He paused, considering that he perhaps had gone off on a tangent about himself, rather than staying focused on the topic of Unseenlights.

"I think she can handle it. She's handled SunClan, and she's handled Dusky already. It might be overwhelming to start, but I believe they can carry each other through it. As for kits, SunClan is concerned mostly with staking their claim on the kits and keeping them loyal. There is no rule that prohibits kits visiting family elsewhere, and the way the rules themselves are written is primed with loopholes waiting to be exploited. I think they'll be able to go farther than you'd think, it might just take some consideration."

"If I made them into sheep, then I've failed in everything I ever tried to teach them." Lex replied easily, choosing not to take it personally, though he did feel a pang in his heart at Sean calling them his kits. But Lex knew they were his own too, he shouldn't take the use of 'my' for 'our' personally, and his ear twitched slightly.

He was quite surprised to see Dusky, but the Scout offered a flash of a warm, encouraging smile at his son's shy question. "What's up?" Lex questioned immediately, giving Sean a side glance for his comment and raising a brow slightly for a moment before his gaze drifted back to the young tom. Hopefully the Sentinel wasn't serious in his comment, but he supposed he'd wait and see.
