Nigel quietly listens, unable to help noticing that Arlia had drawn closer to him. Acting on impulse, he wraps his arm around her shoulders as she explains that her father doesn't think she's right to inherit the Family, a fact which somehow relieves him. "I can see why he'd say that," he says after a few moments. "Personally, I tend to agree with him, if only for the simple fact that I wouldn't want to see you in that much danger. I know how there's almost always someone ready to stab you in the back in that kind of position..." Eventually, they come across another bench and Nigel sits down, bringing Arlia down next to him, his arm still wrapped around her shoulders. After a few moments of silence, he says, "If I could somehow find a way out of Crey, I'd love nothing more than to just settle down in the country somewhere, where I can start a family and still keep an eye on my sister, if need be. Somewhere I could just live the rest of my days in peace and quiet."
