and man. XD;;; Now I know why the hell Vicky's dad does NOT talk to his grandparents at all.
Owain's not fae/human, he's fae/mazoku. His biological dad isn't the guy his mom married. Owain adores both his parents and they love hm to bits, but the relationship between Brigid (Owain's mom) and her parents sucked so bad for SO LONG that even after she cut them off (all her siblings did too XD; they were kind of universal jerks) she had trouble knowing how to talk to Owain about his dad.
Yeah. Owain's got a loving immediate family and loving aunts, uncles and cousins - but very very stodgy grandparents. Some of the old fae Noble Houses can be like that. Really insular, nervous about certain kinds of outside blood etc. They've got more mazoku in their family tree than only Owain's father but they're very "Oh my :(" about it (needlessly).
The last straw for Brigid and her husband - and for Brigid's siblings, all of whom were similarly pressured into flaily - was Brigid's parents freaking the FUCK out when they found out Owain's father was not only a mazoku but of the bloodline of Lord Orlouge the Beguiler. It was like, "You can stop pissing and whining at Brigid, or you can lose us all because you've frankly been shitty to every one of us..."
So now Brigid and her sibs have applied to Queen Medb and the Erlking to found their own House, and they're just waiting for the last notarization to go through XD
