Greatwater Lake fish out of water

So, Verapaz was dying. Beau recognized neither of the names she offered, painting a frown on his face. Where had they all gone? Leto, Tierra, Arslan, Hiro.. even the man Leto brought home, had they all left?

Disa's question pulled Beau from his own, refocusing on the woman. No - it was Leto. We were there when the pack formed. It stung a bit to speak about her, especially after so long. She was following a man there, from what I understand. I must be a hopeless romantic because I thought I could convince her to be with me instead, 'specially after her boyfriend disappeared. But, here he was. Still lady-less with potential bastard children floating around.

Beau tore into his half of the duck, turning his head away from Disa to spit out the feathers. I wish I would'a set Soto straight. Someone needed to. He wasn't so sure why he never had. Beau was confident in his own skills, but maybe at the time Soto had too much support for it to be a fair fight.
