Kian dreamt of a time before, before everything happened. It was a simpler times, sure Kian had problems like every other person in the world but he didn't know how [i]good[/i] he had it. In a heartbeat he would trade his past selves problems to his present self, but what can you say live and learn. He was stuck with the now, and what better way to face it than with a smile?

As soon as he arrived he pat Konstantin's back, [color=#f67b00]"You alright buddy?"[/color] he said shooting him a warm smile.

Taking a look at Ashur, or Loki, [color=#f67b00]"Hey boss."[/color] he expressed, shooting her the same smile, [color=#f67b00]"What's the situation?"[/color]
