Blaise always enjoyed dinner with a lovely lady. Lately it seemed he rarely had the opportunity to do so. That of course had been his fault more than anyone else. He'd allowed a presumably spell tight ward to preoccupy his mind in a rather unhealthy way. He'd even attempted to figure out where this child may be existing to no avail. Truth be told it had held him back from taking the time to enjoy life the way he had been. That needed to change. Blaise needed to get back into the swing of things and get back on the figurative broom.

Tonight he was looking forward to sitting with Pandora. He'd decided to finally tell someone about the insanity. Not only that but he wanted to find out how she'd been doing lately. Most importantly he wanted details on her Valentine's date and how things were going.

Take out Thai food in hand, he knocked on the door and waited for her to answer.

Her eyebrows raised a bit, and she set aside her food container so she could give him her undivided attention. No wonder Blaise was upset, if he'd been without a partner so long. She'd never known him, since they'd broken up so long ago, to be without someone for so long. She drew a knee up toward her chest and wrapped her arms around it.

She tilted her head, taking her time as she usually did formulating an answer that was important. "Someone's mother, or someone specific?" she asked, eyes keen as she studied him. It was a guess, but one she didn't think was without merit. She rather thought it wasn't the thought of pregnancy that threw him off, but perhaps something more personal.

Blaise knew his revelation was a bit shocking. In fact, if most of his friends hadn't already started the process of settling down themselves he'd likely have been the brunt of many a joke long before now. Following her lead he reached over and put his plate on a nearby table.

"Someone out there is keeping secrets so it seems," he signed and leaned back against the sofa cushions. "I saw a ward Alicia posted a while back for parents. I ribbed her for having a faulty ward but I have since seen several." What else was there to tell. The words were solid enough to make the assumption. Blaise still hadn't taken the step of verbalizing that he had a child he didn't know.

Dora's eyebrows raised even higher and she oooohed softly under her breath. "Oh. Oh, I see," she said. No wonder Blaise had been off his usual game lately; he probably had a child out there. That certainly was a game changer.

She leaned back again too, both feet once again snugging under the edge of Blaise's thigh. "Well, darling, I can promise it isn't me," she said with a faint smirk. "Wherever would I hide a child?" She was teasing to lighten the mood, though truth was she couldn't see herself denying a father access to his kid unless the guy turned out to be a horrible brute.

"So thinking about possibly being a father, that's really thrown you a bit, huh," she prompted gently.

Blaise involuntarily rolled his eyes at Pandora's attempt to make light of the situation. He knew she was only trying to cheer him up. Still, he was actually in the mood to have a serious conversation.

"For all I know you have a hidden room under your bed," he did try to respond but it was obvious his heart wasn't in the ribbing. "That's just it though isn't it. Why would one hide a child?" It wasn't the thought of being a father that had him concerned. In fact he was more appalled at the fact that he'd chosen women who didn't have the decency to at least inform him even if they didn't wish him to be involved. "Sure, I've never looked for a commitment but I've never been opposed to one either."

Never could it be said that Dora couldn't take a hint, subtle or otherwise. She smiled gently and let the joke fade away, regarding him more seriously. "I don't know. Maybe she isn't sure it's yours?" she posited. "I mean, that is possible." Not as likely, as at this point the child's looks should point to Blaise's somewhat distinctive ones. "That does happen sometimes. Or maybe she's simply afraid that you might want the child all to yourself and have the power to take it away, though anyone who knows you at all would know you wouldn't do that." At least not unless the child's safety was at risk. "I always figured you'd settle down with someone at some point."

Blaise was glad he'd finished the part of his meal that held the most staying power prior to this conversation. He didn't think he had it in him to eat much more. Truth be told, he could go with a stiff drink right about now.

"I'm beginning to think that will be an impossibility," he sounded defeated. "The more I think about the fact that I've alienated some woman to the point that she doesn't even trust me to tell me that she has my child ..." He didn't quite know how to word the rest of his thought. Blaise was experiencing trust issues, something he'd never cared about before because he'd never believed there was a reason to worry about trust. Sex was just sex afterall, or at least it had been.

Dora's heart ached for Blaise. It was so rare for him to be so torn up about something. She set her plate aside and scooted closer, slipping her hand into his and squeezing it. "I don't think that's the first option. Having a kid, that's such a huge thing for both people, and there's still so much turmoil." She sighed and looked at him, other hand enfolding his as well. "There are possibly spells you could use. I mean, they're not all exactly looked wlel on in today's circles, and I've never used one..." Blood magic was terribly iffy, and she didn't know a specific spell herself. She'd just heard things in the past. Though really she didn't know if he'd want to do that.

She leaned in and kissed his cheek. "Is there anything I can do to help?" she asked genuinely.

Blaise knew Pandora meant well and if the war had gone another way her suggestions may have been viable. As it stood it wasn't even an option he was willing to consider. In fact, it wasn't event something he would entertain in conversation. "A drink would be good right about now?" It was his go to whenever her didn't want to think about it further. In fact, he'd probably spent way too much time in the last few months drinking away any semblance of care on this topic. That was what had him to the point he was presently.

Dora pondered for a moment whether she should press him with more options, but she decided to let it be for now. He knew he could talk to her about anything -- as evidenced by this conversation, she hoped -- and the door was always open for him. "A drink does sound wonderful," she agreed, kissing his cheek again before rising and going to the corner where she had a small bar. She kept it small on purpose, because she knew she tended to over indulge and was trying to be better.

She poured him his favorite drink and herself a small one as well, and walked them back over. "Here you go, love," she said.
