Benedict's brow wrinkles prettily as he takes this new information, and, as it only puts him further ill at ease, he shakes his head.

"It shouldn't need breaking off," he mutters, "I'm--"
His sneer is a pained and not derisive one as he looks at Cedric, a brand new (cute) face who does not need to know all of his personal failings right away. But this is a delicate situation; he needs to make it clear he's not simply running out on a responsibility to some innocent woman.

"My family disavowed me years ago," he explains, "I suppose it's possible they just forgot to tell House Arany, and that there isn't something else going on, but." He pinches the bridge of his nose. "Maker. This is fucked."

"Yeah," A low breath out. Who knew marriage was so complicated? Probably why the Chantry discourages it - "Sounds it. But whatever all's on, she cared that you were gone."

"Whole lotta people did. They’ll help you figure it out."

His expression softens to hear that he was missed-- and not just by Vega, although that does endear him to her a little-- and the little smile that flits back onto his face is for Cedric as he gives him a nod of understanding. There was a time he might have pushed the issue, not believed him; but he does. That's something in and of itself.

"Thanks for coming to visit," he says after a beat, "and, y'know. Welcome to Riftwatch."

"Thanks," He laughs. "And y’know. Welcome back."
