Nova Peak Self-made confession

If Kieran had known Kaskara was visiting with Bazi. He would have told her to take her time. He however did not know. So, he didn't even think about it. He saw and heard her coming and lifted green gaze to her. He looked at her for a moment, trying like the very devil not to lose his cool. He wanted to run away right now and never look back. But if one thing could be said about the scarred ex-prince, he was not a coward.

As far as Kieran was concerned, the past was over. Sure he missed his family, and Kiva he would always miss her. However, he was trying to move on from it. Even if he couldn't fully move on yet, he was at least trying. He would not rehash it, he would not bring it up anymore. It was not his way to constantly revisit the past with others. By himself sure he did it all the time, but he wouldn't bring another down with him. It was simply not the way he was made. He kept most of his concerns and thoughts close to the vest.

She nudged him and spoke his name, and he felt bile rise up in his throat. He was a nervous wreck, though you wouldn't know it. He kept himself pretty calm, or at least he hoped so for any case.
