Faasnu Gein couldn’t help but frown a bit at the boy’s story. It was unfortunate to hear how his freedoms were so limited. His life seemed stagnate, not really doing much other then was required of him. Faasnu Gein never knew that life, nor would he if he had stayed in the village. His mother would have more than likely pushed him to go out into the world, make some sort of name for himself. Even the village elder passed on his knowledge in the hopes that he would leave the village and be someone. Going after his father’s killers was the first step, after that leaving for good to explore the world was all that was left. Sometimes he always wondered what he may have become if he had just stayed in the village. More the likely, he would have been a hunter or some sort of laborer. If he was truly lucky, he could have taken the place of the village elder, seeing as how he practically treated Faasnu Gein as his own child, after his father died. Still, he was happy with the life he led once he left, though he wondered what his mother would think to hear of the things he has done.
Faasnu Gein chuckled again at the kid’s response from before. “Listen, this is your first time out of the castle and away from all the peers that led you’re every move. You have to take advantage of it just a little.” Maybe Elvar felt guilty, seeing as how they did have limited time, but even so, a part of him must want to experience these things while he had the chance. This might be the only chance he ever gets, and who knows what the outcome will be once this is all said and done. It was a scary notion, to think you may have to sacrifice yourself for the entire world’s safety, but that outcome shouldn’t be out ruled.
“Look, by the time we get to the town, we’ll have only so much sun left. It’s possibly better if we stay in town so we have plenty of sun for tomorrow to travel. And I’m taking you to the beach either way. Besides, it’s the little things that matter the most in life, and you’ll thank me for this once it’s all over.”
