Kevaraan firmly shakes L'yhta's hand. "Pleased to make your acquaintance, L'yhta."
He shifted about in the chair, gazing off at the wall a moment in thought. "Yes, I'm not one to judge, but I was concerned it might have some painful consequences. I almost left."
"About Gridania... Yes, I grew up in this area, and lived in the city or thereabouts until I was about eight cycles. We traveled a lot after that, though. Between the city-states, back and forth. It's my first time back in....quite a few years, I suppose."
The deliberate pauses allowed the wistfulness, and perhaps a slight fear, in his pale green eyes to reach the forefront.
"All the same, I don't think the city would change that much. No place is perfect, but it's my opinion that most would be correct in asserting things like that don't happen here. Or it could be a tavern thing--I never spend time in them. Haven't really, since I was waiting for my father to finish his business as a kid."
His eyes half-closed, although he still seemed to be attentive to his new companion. "What brings you to our beautiful sylvan city, then?"
