His icy look was one that seemed to stem from both his parents. To say which was more of an influence however was nearly impossible. With Merrick it seemed as if he embodied traits from all those he grew up idolizing.
"Victor... I see." He glanced at Amaya and Tessa. Tessa nodded as if confirming his silent query as to the name. A part of him wanted to deck them an, if only for what he felt was right.

I thought I was mad at first, but now that I see that you're here, I wonder... She looked identical to our mother. Is she...?"
Tessa's eyes widened and she looked at Amaya for confirmation to that before looking at Victor expectantly.
