I didn't want to talk about Rael. Not yet. Not the way he left. Not the way he looked back for half a second like he might stay. Not the way my heart tore apart like a child all over again. I clenched my jaw and gave a nod.
After a beat, Drakkar said, "So… your father never took you to his kind?" I looked at him, "You once told me there was a village with people like you."
I stared at the floor, tracing the faint pattern in the stone with my eyes. "No."
There was another silence. I broke it before he could press more.
"I did ask him," I said, quietly. "About this village he told me about. His people. He said he'd take me there one day."
I let out a dry laugh that didn't sound like one.
"That day never came though…"
