[His eyes widen a bit at the name. This definitely can't be a coincidence.

But for now, Lyserg will push aside those thoughts to offer Liam a gentle smile.] It's nice to meet you, Liam... although I do wish it could be under better circumstances...

[littledowser]

Mm...

[This is so weird, and the situation before has made him feel dizzy. For the moment, he's just going to close his eyes, leaning his head against Lyserg's chest again. It certainly feels like when he's against his dad, if... a lot smaller.

...So, didn't that mean...?]

[homingpendulum]

... say, Liam. [Because this is going to bug him until he knows for sure.] If I may, what's your full name...?

[littledowser]

Ah...

[So he was thinking it too? ...well... at least this should answer the question.]

My name is Liam Diethel II.

1/?

[homingpendulum]

[You know, when he asked the question, he really should have expected that answer.]

2/?

[homingpendulum]

[That still doesn't make it any less shocking though.]

3/5

[homingpendulum]

[Just... give him a moment to process this.]

[homingpendulum]

[...]

done and I am so sorry

[homingpendulum]

I... see...

[It certainly confirms his suspicions but... he still wasn't really expecting such an answer...

There's some part of him that still hasn't fully processed this yet.]

[littledowser]

...

[Ah... that wasn't exactly a good reaction. Lyserg's silence and unnerved state seem to make Liam feel uncomfortable, unsure, and slowly -- hesitantly -- he pulls his head away, releasing the grips he had on the coat.

...He can't quite bring himself to step back, so hopefully that needs to be enough.]

[homingpendulum]

[With a deep breath, Lyserg's finally seemed to have wrapped his head around the answer. It takes him a moment or so before he speaks again, smiling sheepishly and letting out a soft exhale.]

Well, I can certainly say I never expected to meet my son this early on. [It's strange, but freaking out about this won't do any good and Liam's already uncomfortable enough from what Lyserg can see.]

[littledowser]

[Well, that was a better answer, and Liam manages to smile a little in return.]

I didn't expect my dad to be small.

[Still taller than him, but it is kind of... weird.]

[homingpendulum]

[Lyserg chuckles quietly, closing his eyes. His smile widens a little as he opens his eyes again and offers his hand to Liam.]

Let's start finding a way out of here, shall we?

[littledowser]

[Liam seems surprised at the offer, but it only takes a brief moment before both his hands close over Lyserg's, holding tight like a little child ready to go through a haunted house.]

Yes!

[homingpendulum]

[First things first, they'll need to find Morphine. It shouldn't be too hard, Lyserg's sure of that. What he's not sure of, however... well, he's a little concerned about more traps like the one Liam was in. It's likely that there's more of them, and he really doesn't want Liam to get caught in another.

It's not that Lyserg's concerned about not being able to solve the puzzle--he'd just rather the child not be in danger.]
