Daerios nodded his head, fighting the temptation to lower it. It was his first time not wearing a mask outside after the incident, and he was vigilant of all the eyes upon him. Every part of him wanted to run away, but he managed to push those feelings aside for the time being.
"Okay great, Rei-Rei! You're all set."

"I suppose I shall," he said, a smile forming on his lips when she mentioned his family. "It ought to be time for the children to meet their grandfather."
