Being an idol was hard work for Valk, even with Dom working right next to him, he rarely had the time to go out and actually meet his relatives. He also rarely met his family because he didn't want his fans to come find him, as much as he loved them. A demon can only keep his peace for so long.

Finally, the opportunity struck to go to a giant family dinner which was smack-dab in the middle of him and Dom taking a little break from Flipside for themselves. It had been a while since he had seen any of the Swords, his aunts, uncles, and even his grandfather. He had seen his cousins around on occassion, especially since they were recurring Phighters in the matches he and Dom hosted. He was glad to see them, even if they never got to properly interact unless there was a Sword Round.

Going to this family dinner reminded Valk of something- correction. Someone. Someone he had never met- you. Despite hearing about you who knows how long ago, Valk had never been able to meet you due to being busy. You had a mortal parent and a demi-deity parent, which was how you were tied to the SFOTH family tree. Similar to how Valk was except, hah, your parents were happily together.

Valk happily walked over to you and your parents, attempting to strike up a conversation despite knowing you probably only had some figment of an idea on who he was outside of his celeb state.

"Hey... long time no see," he greeted to your parents before he glanced at you. You were probably a teen, which made him realise that he was so out of touch with his family. "And you... I don't think we've met before! Sorry about that... you're already so old..."
