Northstar Vale -- too vicious to tell

Ha.  He could not pinpoint exactly when she softened towards him, but her comment caught him off guard.  Nice?  Never in his life had anyone come close to thinking he was any semblance of the word nice, let alone feeling the need to vocalize it.  He let out a low hum as his smile broadened.

Much like Genie, Mattias had hardened his heart towards Chusi.  He had quite liked her, but soon she would be gone and he would have no part in yet another heartache.  He breathes in, reaching back in his memory to answer her question. He didn't know the exact amount of time since he had arrived in Northstar Vale, didn't know how many days had passed since he had fought with his sister, didn't know really how many days it had been since he had seen Chusi.  

The answer to all of them was Not long, and he offered it with a shrug.  How about you?  Where do you come from?
