We could be brothers

Nef let Shmi take Articus for a bit, knowing she could trust her with her child.
"Articus likes just about everyone he's met so far...and that hardly seems like it's about to change." Nef said, taking note of the bond between Articus and Jason. Shortly after Shmi took Articus, Jason started reaching for Nef.
"Hey there, you little cutie."
Nef looked to his parents
"May I?"
Apparently Josh had been telling stories, and Nef still had no knowledge of the aforementioned ghostling, which was probably for the best.

"Yeah, was telling a few stories... Gherron and I were telling tales about this one girl he liked when he was a Padawan" Josh would remark, his lips twitching into a devious grin as he looked toward [member="Gherron Vael"] in turn. He noted Jason reaching for [member="Nefertari Sovint Vael"] just as their kid had reached for [member="Shmi DragonsFlame"].

Josh nodded his head to give Nef permission. He was honestly surprised...

"He's usually quite timid, I'm surprised he's taken a liking to you so quickly" He would admit. "He was scared of your husband earlier. But that might just be that Gherron frightens small children" Josh would joke, chuckling in turn.
 
Gherron’s smile continued to widen as he watched the interaction between the mothers and their sons. The whole family seemed to be coming together very nicely. In fact, watching the boys, he even wondered if they would have a similar bond to himself and Josh as they grew up. They already seemed damn near inseparable; only time could tell what would happen in the future. As Josh began cracking jokes one after the other, Gherron grinned and punched his shoulder firmly, yet playfully. ”Yes, yes, lots of good stories from the good ol’ days. Real shocker that girl took an interest in you after you’d found yourself someone else, eh?” Eager to get past that particular subject however, he spooned a small bit of ice cream and smiled as he made it fly around a little before feeding it to Articus. The little boy squealed in delight at the flying frozen treat, and smiled once the flavor hit his tongue. Gherron opened his mouth to say something then, when a sharply dressed man walked over and tapped him on the shoulder. ”Sir, there is a gentleman requesting your presence?” His first thought was, Geez, we’re not even in the manor! How the hell- And then he remembered that like his wife, he now counted as nobility. So wherever either of them went, it rarely went unnoticed. ”Um, of course, bring him over.” With a quick nod, the man motioned to another, after which a more commonly dressed man with some documents under his arm entered his field of view. ”Mr. Vael, if I may, I’ve discovered some information that you may find of great interest, involving your bloodline.” Gherron raised an eyebrow as he took the folder, looking at each person at the table in turn, as if expecting a prank. However, upon pulling the contents out of the folder, his eyes began to widen. ”Josh... look at this.” The first piece was an old article of a crash on Coruscant, around twenty years prior. It stated the survivors as Joshua and Nick DragonsFlame, with their parents dead and their brother James missing. The next was a series of transcripts from an orphanage, most notably one talking of taking in a young boy that looked just like the ‘missing’ poster from the article, and then that same boy being adopted months later. Gherron stares in silence then. Articus, who must have felt his distress, reached out for his father with a small whine. ”Josh, if what this is all saying is true... We’re brothers of the same blood.”

This was mildly shocking. Articus reached out for Gherron, abandoning his ice cream in the process. Nef rested a hand on her husband's shoulder as if to silently remind him she was there to support him no matter what.
"They were pretty much family anyway, now it is official." she said happily.

"And then she never bothered to turn around and take an interest in you, as much as you would have hoped she would have... Poor Gherron" He joked in turn with a mischievous grin forming across his lips. With that subject behind him, the Jedi would take tabs from a man that he almost considered a brother as he would take a spoonfull of ice cream and hold it out to Jason, who's eyes got big as he opened his mouth. Josh would chuckle as he would feed the ice cream to his son, who stared at him as he clearly wanted more. Josh would pick up Jason's cone, and hold it up to him. He was still learning how to eat the cone the regular way so he did this here and there, usually after feeding him with a spoon once to help him understand it was the ice cream he liked so much. Jason could guess ice cream was nearby by the smell, but it took a bit for him to understand what was in front of him he could eat.

Jason would dig his face right into the ice cream and Josh began to laugh as he would motion for Shmi to grab a napkin for him. Well, at least he was eating it. And clearly enjoying himself. While they were doing this, Gherron was dealing with some issue, but Josh only took notice when Gherron demanded his attention. His eyes widened then as he slowly made the connection.

"... Well, chit" Was all he could manage to say. It seems he had a family remaining after all... "Well, guess this means we'll be visiting for Life Day?" He managed to joke, as this was still all just sinking in...
