Linga could not raise his head to meet Damon's gaze. He could only hold his hand to his chest and cry. Damon was quiet for a moment, then placed a hand on Linga's back. It was a quiet gesture, but when Xander saw it, his eyes flickered.
Damon already knew what had happened. He could more or less tell by looking at Linga's face. This was a man who had seen despair. He glanced at Emilia, who lowered her head slightly.
After a while, Linga stopped sobbing, and Damon asked him again.
"How have you been?"
Linga's head was still lowered as he replied.
"I am fine now, and so is my family."
Damon was a little surprised that Linga had a family, but he was happy for him. After all, no one should be alone. Linga had lived a harsh life, and he deserved a little happiness.
"I hope they are okay."
"Yes, they are fine. We were together at the capital when the Great Fall happened, and we landed in an area that was safe. We were one of the lucky ones. No one died, and we all made it safely."
