venextos was eager to begin, and garait envied his brother's quiet enthusiasm. what drove his brother was not necessarily what motivated the quiet brute, but he knew that their thoughts of home oft overlapped, and dipped away in the same fashion — both of them carried the burden of dark anger, and both of them did not want to think of it. so garait assumed, and felt he was correct in such.
