[ This is exactly why he had to go confront Daybit about all of this instead of Silco. He can feel his temper rising with the ridiculous ways that Silco dismisses him, but as tempting as it is to summon his gun to his side again… No. He can’t. Though he’d never want to accept it, Silco is just a guy, so his likelihood of surviving is way lower than his alien-infested Master. ]
You’re gonna eat those words, man. When you realize you’ve been all kissy with Verg especially, don’t come cryin’ to me.
[ At least in this case that’s truly not his fault or even his influence, but he’s sure that Silco can twist it somehow… ]
Yes, I'm sure I will be very upset to learn that I've been spending time with Vergilius. [ that's literally a normal thing. ] You would think with the way half of you are acting, that we haven't been dating for nearly a year.
[ because you haven't, you idiot. It's much weirder and worse than that. ]
[ He sighs, though, as if put upon that he has to explain something like this to Tezca of all people. ]
I knew Daybit's father, so when he passed... I took him in. It was the least I could do.
[ Tezcatlipoca’s expression twists up as Silco casually explains his relationship. That feels so wrong, but he also wants to laugh. After all his months of bothering Silco about it, he finally admits it, but it’s like this? Come on. That’s not even fair!
But as Silco answers his question, he quickly becomes serious. He stares at Silco like he’s just said something offensive, and he’s much more serious. ]
You didn’t know him. You might think you did, but that’s not possible.
[ There’s a weight in his words that’s almost cold, because this is one of those rare things where the fact that Tezcatlipoca is a god subtly shines through. Daybit’s father is an impossibility, after all. Even a god like him wasn’t able to see across time to peek at just what had happened. That man was simply erased from existence. No body, no soul, just a lingering shadow that no one can even name. ]
…But I guess that’s the story that would get cooked up. Sheesh.
[ Tezcatlipoca relaxes again with a grumble as he lays back in his cot. He’s at least not keen to do anything about this, though he’s getting restless from being stuck in one place. It seems like he might just leave Silco alone and ignore him, since he closes his eyes, but he’s just thinking it over. After a long pause, he decides to just ask. ]

So, what. Is Daybit your kid or something?
