Zafika is amused by the boys' enthusiasm and all the cheering, hiding their tiny smirk behind their hand as they watch Garrot groan and fail to get through his children's excitement. This is lighthearted still, so they're not worried despite how grumpy he looks. He doesn't look actually mad, everything's fine.

Except uh. One of the kids, apparently named Leon, topples over on his chair while cackling like a hyena, and it's surprisingly contagious, on top of him falling over. Contagious enough that they have to muffle a snort behind their hand too, but now they're openly smiling.

"Well, no power in this world can get me to Koskenkorva, but if your Primary Caregiver is willing to help out with bringing you somewhere else, I could maybe spar with you." If they still get to go free after this, if they survive. Things are crazy enough that they don't want to make assumptions about anyone's survival. But this is good enough of a promise without actually promising them anything.

But oh look, they're joining the boys' joke of calling Garrot anything but 'dad'.
