(Scorn/S9) Thomas takes Imperia's kind words, smiling politely as she speaks, up until she gets to the part about him being 'top tier husband material.'  His smile disappears like a magic trick and his eyes go slightly wide, though his expression tries to recover. He quickly looks to Regina for rescue, but she's preoccupied with the small stain om Maria's dress. He presses on.

"Well, er, it's not to say that I...um, raised a family all by myself. It takes two to make a baby," he jokes lamely, giving a halfhearted grin.

"I just grew the cores. You built the girls, dear," Regina chimes in without looking up.

Thomas slowly closes his eyes and sighs. He decides to change the subject, lest he stumble into the verbal trap that his wife set up---for her own amusement, no doubt.

"So, I have to ask," he says, taking a swig of his gin, "Why is it you continue to work for Armata, despite that he's intent on demonstrating that he has no intention whatsoever of changing his ways?"
