Being Excluded reminds him of hiding his love life from his kids. It's a good and wholesome reminder, and it makes him... sigh and smile, warm and calm.

"I mean obviously I will." He's peak lazy self-assured, and reaches up with his free hand to ruffle Gyre's hair a little bit, taking extra care to let his claws gently caress the elf's scalp here and there.

"I'm just glad you two have found your way into each other's hearts and minds..." Garrot stifles a laugh, the spare hand now grabbing that cane again. "...and butts." He made the joke, he can't just stand around now! "It means I don't have to worry about either of you as much."

And then he starts pressing onward once more. If he doesn't need to worry about them, he can worry about, well his own needs. Like... the truth.
