Cerdian's eyes are blue. Blue like the ocean. Blue like his mother's eyes. They overwrite the violet in Garth's genes, and once, a bumbling fool questioned Cerdian's paternity, earning a dismissal by the royal guard. Garth wonders, and looks at his wife, and sees the exotic blue and wonders briefly...what powers lie within his wife that neither of were even aware. Dolphin's genetics are special. There is great power within her, even from before she became a test subject for rogue aliens.
Blue not like Arthur's eyes. No. Fathoms below, he never once thought his wife had lied. The child that sleeps in his shell crib is warm with his power, his majesty...
Sometimes Garth wakes at night, and finds Dolphin at Cerdian's crib, cooing a little warbled song that she had heard from one of the Titans.
"...you were made to go out and get her. Remember to let her into your heart, then you can start to make it better."
For all the trouble they have been through. For all the frustration they have experienced, there is still that love there between man and wife. Garth smiles softly as he lays his head back down, closing his eyes. He is lulled to sleep by Dolphin's song.
