Zero nodded and followed along for a few minutes before he began to get frustrated. How long was this damn story? He'd honestly come near to jumping up and telling Karn to shut the hell up. However, Zenoram intervened wanting to hear more. And that was how it came to be that Zenoram was in control again. Zero was listened in the back of their mind but it was Zenoram now. 

"Wow. Really? That sounds like an amazing story." H spoke about halfway through Karn's tale. His voice was notably more kind and gave off this warm feeling. He had tidied up, fixing his clothes to be more neat as he often did and had even begun cooking. This food would have lasted two days or so had it only been himself, Zero and Hemlock, but with Mithera and Karn he made it all just to be sure. And this was assuming Hemlock didn't have his own meal somewhere. 

The story continued and finally ended of course. "Oh man. I wish I could go on adventures and stuff like that." Zenoram spoke again as he began to serve food. He did, but he didn't think Zero would be up to it. He really didn't trust other people. Even these two. And he didn't want to leave Hemlock. He was like a second father. How could the young man so selfishly choose to leave?

"I..." Zero seemed like he was gonna speak in the back of their mind, but didn't. "Forget it." 

"Here. You two must be starving." Zenoram than spoke after a brief shrug as he held out two bowls with a warm smile on his face. This was obviously not the same person. Maybe Mithera would notice. But it was unlikely Karn would. Zero even had it in mind that Karn was a simple idiot. Perhaps dependable. Definitely way too kind. But kind of... Well he wasn't the brightest in the shed. These were Zero's thoughts. The same thoughts Zenoram heard and continued to argue with silently as he showed the utmost hospitality. 

The young man opened his mouth to speak again, but stopped upon feeling a small tremor. No doubt, Hemlock would be back soon. "Ah... Please eat and enjoy. Don't worry. My adoptive father will be back in a bit. He's actually quite nice." He then said with a small bow as the tremors grew larger and they seemed to be coming closer. He didn't take into account that they might be surprised to see the dragon who was minutes away.
