Tiamat's moods weren't the most difficult to pick up on, especially right now. This whole thing about the rescue was clearly more complicated than he immediately realized. As the red-headed young woman spoke golden eyes watched her. Even Morgan looked annoyed by her admission to the Eternal, although she'd told him about them as well. Of course he wasn't likely to take them from her, either. An eyebrow raised and his lips curled downward into a frown.
"He should not have left you," Stolas stated firmly, staring at her. "The Eternal has your gates, not you or Emryc." Pointing out she shouldn't have given the Eternal everything seemed redundant as she seemed well aware at this point. "If you weren't worth breaking out, I would not have looked, and Emryc would not have taken action, is this not so?" Morgan took another bite of cupcake.
Emryc's moods on the other hand were challenging to read, but the Firrerreo's sharp eyes had practice. A small scowl that vanished when the half-Sephi looked at him was telling, but it was the rest while Tia spoke that concerned him. Minute movements and muscle twitches in fingers, posture, the simple fact his face was entirely, icily blank. The little twitches from Tiamat as she moved were not lost on him, either.
Morgan's brows furrowed as his boyfriend's sheer anger at what Tiamat said became frosty dismissal and almost turned into something more crude, but the half-Sephi stopped himself instead. It wasn't the other man's anger with Tiamat or his choice of words that annoyed the prince but that he'd walked into an argument. He did also find Emryc's politeness very sweet, resulting in a little smirk.
"No one else has your eyes, Emryc," he said matter-of-factly, although someone must have something similar if it was being brought up. Morgan meant in his own specific way.
He hummed in a satisfied sort of way at Emryc's agreement, back to his simple smile. The cupcakes were quite good, and he took another bite.
"Tia. These cupcakes look heavy. But they're really quite light, no? You've improved."
