Garrot just shifts around unconfortably as Gyre keeps going. Mostly because on some level he can't disagree. These are good points. But...
"Where I come from," oh no he's playing that card, "there's more to it than that! Papers and rings and-" Garrot just shakes his head. He's totally right! What does Gyre know?!
"Besides, my kids aren't that bad." He pouts for a moment before sliding right back into proud parent mode. "I mean. Miri was a handful at first, and then the twins happened right around when we were on the same page. They were basically the same kid, and Miri kept an eye on them." He nods, because she's a good older sister.
"If Ursula came earlier in my life, I'd have ripped my hair out, but she's fine now." Because he knows what he's doing. "I mean, Sly and my mom helped but I did a lot of the work on my own!" He sounds proud of this, and he's ignoring the fact that his hair is starting to go gray. Probably from the stress of his ludicrous children and his job and everything else he has going on.
