He hums, thoughtful. Why does he like Athessa. It seems like a question not properly answered by rattling off positive qualities. He could do that for anyone. ]
The first time we really talked, she told me she left her clan because she was recruited as a secret agent. It was actually something sad, of course—it is always something sad. But the urge to tell it as something better...
[ A shrug. He relates. ]
She makes me laugh. She is having a hard time right now, but usually we have a similar rhythm—not taking things too seriously until we do, and then not taking them too seriously again to shake it off. And I wouldn't tell her everything I tell you, but when I do want to tell her something, she listens, and when I am done wanting to tell her things, she lets me stop.
And she trusts me. It is nice to be trusted—really trusted, by someone who even knows the reasons why they perhaps should not. And, [ speaking of shaking off seriousness, ] she is taking me to Rivain on a griffon someday.
