The Youthful Phoro

'Your majesty, I'm sorry to leave so soon but we really must be going. We've got to hurry and get through the next few floors and leave this space.'

'Then I'll wish you the best, Jack. Phoro, I'm sure you're smart enough to act appropriately when needed, you always have been,' Phara sighed. 'Farewell, my son.'

'Goodbye, Mother, Father.' Showing them one last bow, Phoro then turned to Jack. 'After you.'

The party began their trek southbound, eventually leaving the Minokawa's territory. Once outside of their territory, everyone heard a huge sigh of relief from behind them.

'Fiiinally! I don't have to listen to my father and his rants about duty and responsibility.' Using his telepathic ability, Phoro spoke loudly and shared his thoughts with the entire party.

Jack broke into laughter and looked back at the Minokawa. 'Wait, you're not some duty-driven son of the Sovereign? What was up with that act back there?'
