Rolf couldn't deny that this was a surprise. The last thing a parent with magical blood expected was to discover their child was a squib. However, given the situation in the village, Rolf's momentary lack of speech was caused as much by relief as by shock. He thought Lorcan was going to tell him someone has just died, or that their old friend the Kraken had decided to pay them a little visit. This... was different, in a "(insert name here) is still alive" sort of way.
"Well, that's..."
Rolf was trying hard to find the right words. He didn't want to give Lorcan the impression he was disappointed, because he wasn't. He was just surprised.
