Goodbyes

“Come.” Disseus caught the sleeve of Sebastian’s frilled shirt and pulled him along with him. Growing more certain by the moment, that if left alone, Sebastian would continue to taunt Teverius until the other man returned to take the bait. “If you wish to.”

Sebastian didn’t seem to mind though. Stumbling along for a moment while laughing over his shoulder at Teverius. Bright turquoise eyes dancing. Then he focused on the group ahead of them.

“I find your Bernus, a bit unpleasant.” Sebastian sobered, to comment.

A man who clearly says whatever he’s thinking.

It was a trait Disseus could appreciate.

“We do as well.” Nim agreed.

“Was he always like that?”

“No.” Nim said. Surprising Disseus. “He was a nice child.”

“Unfortunately, children grow up.” There was a sudden sadness in Sebastian’s voice. But before either Nim or Disseus could mention it, Sebastian walked a bit faster. Catching up to Lonnix and Almora.
