There's a shrug at Hemera's initial objection, as if to say that matters of the Convocation are something that can be dealt with later. By her standards at least, and given that he hasn't made any objection to the general concept of her needed approval to have a child that might well be telling of the society they'd both called theirs, once upon a time.

Still it's her other comment that he answers, when he does.

"He doesn't have three centuries. His kind have but one, at best."

It is how it is, and while he can't - and won't - say it's been easy to be one of a small handful of immortals in a sea of such short-lived beings it's something he's long since grown to accept at least.
