[Ed sighs a little, resting his chin on his hand and leaning on the counter. He just doesn't know what to do with this guy.]

Sorry to hear it. I don't have a family anymore, and not just because I was whisked away to this darling place. So you're not alone there.

[He shrugs.]

I don't have any potions to fix that, though. Unless you're trying to attract a significant other to start a family with, I guess I can help with some potions with that...

[He almost immediately wants to put his foot in his mouth. He's (half) joking, but he remembers that Dylas doesn't exactly have the greatest sense of humor. So, he waves a hand to dismiss the comment.]

It's a joke, a joke.
