Warren smiled, but it faded just a bit as unheard thoughts passed behind his eyes.
"Howl's not his real name, obviously. It's some meeko tongue, and I'm not really good at imitating it. It's close enough and makes for a fighter's name." His smile turned proud. "He's my best friend. We share a place together. He's had some bad things happen to him, though, and I blame myself for a lot of it."
The smile lost its luster, but he kept the frame of it on his face. "Didn't deserve any of what's gone his way, but he's like a brother to me. More. He was the reason I was gone for so long; He was in trouble and I needed to help him. He got by without me just fine, though. Of course he would; He's strong after all."
