[ If it's any consolation, Gen shows no interest in drawing any closer -- he listens quietly as Gray speaks, idly nursing his cigarette and keeping his gaze fixed off at an indistinct point in the distance.

Actually watching over graves as a job is pretty mundane, huh. Something about hearing the task framed in such boring terms is weirdly reassuring. And as a side effect, she doesn't sound like she's going to start crying any more. That's probably a good thing, even if it wasn't his main concern.

He looks aside as he (terribly rudely) taps some of the ash off his cigarette on the floor. ]


This place ain't like that -- like small towns. I'm from the sticks, too. The atmosphere out on the streets ... [ Calling it culture shock would probably be an understatement. ] Guess it's easy enough to blend in as long as you keep your shard hidden. But if it's too much, you can mostly stay here, instead. Inside. Staying here, in the Citadel, it's mostly the same faces all the time. That kinda atmosphere might feel more familiar to you.

[ For better or for worse. He can't claim to have ever liked how stifling and same-y small-town life had always been. But at the same time, he can understand how it can be comforting. ]
