Darius looked at his mother and tried still to calm her. "Do you want me to get you something to drink, mother?" He waved her worries away. "She wants to be independent. I think she would be alright with this. And the scandal is honestly the least of our worries. She isn't obviously with child yet if there is even one on the way. So the scandal is minor considering what Magnus has done, at least I think so. And if we disconnect, you can always claim it was because she shamed the house. No one will probably care beyond that, right?" He liked Pearl, but it did hurt to hear she had moved out but he didn't blame her. Better to live with a small shame amongst the middle class ignored by the family, since he didn't see her striving for any sort of aristocracy.
