He had been warned about it, but he cant help taking a hesitant step back and reaching for that instinct to deny any knowledge, all out of efforts to protect her. It was one thing to speak about the people he knew, it was another to begin attaching names. His arms raise so that he's almost hugging himself, turning away from Mithos as his eyes closed in memory of that girl, thinking about what life she had here.

Even if he does acknowledge his relationship with her... No one here could hurt her. He would make sure of that at the risk of his own safety.]

Light. The only other halfling like me, and everyone knew it. She's... irreplaceable to me. Would you have known her well?
