Serix was glad that he could cheer Cassie up in even the slightest bit. She even managed a weak smile. Then, she went on to talk about her mother and her father. He closed his eyes as he listened, sharing in the ache of losing both parents so suddenly to such tragic circumstances. It was a terrible thing to be orphaned like that, especially in the midst of a war.

I’m a Lunairan, too, after all.” He offered her a small smile. “I can teach you things and we’ll see if you’re able to do them.” He stood up and reached out a hand to her. “Come on. Let’s see what other Lunairan traits your mother gave you.”
