The Dai greeted his teeth as the other continued to inform him about tragedies they had been through which in the end brought him here. At first, interest was the only thing in his eyes; it would be a lie if he said he wasn’t interested in what had come of their story after they passed away but seeing as nothing had truly changed, his interest began to fade.
