Dragoncrest Cliffs i'm not crying. you're not crying, are you?

Man, this conversation took a turn. He felt like an asshole as she began to speak haltingly in the common tongue, and grimaced, waiting for her to finish. Mallaidh and Aure.

I'm sorry, Verx said, knowing he had to make an effort to be contrite. It's hard to learn a different language, I know. I can help you with that, especially since you're staying here. He let a small smile curve his lips once more, giving her a nod. Welcome to Drageda, he added, giving each syllable weight and space.

He lifted his chin, peering across the landscape. You wanna take a look around with me? Explore your new home? he asked, flicking his ears toward her to mirror his spoken query.
