Blake had always been a happy man. Although he could be annoying, he was someone who could make someone smile either because of his quirks or his silly jokes. But after receiving the news about his grandfather's death, Blake seemed like a different man.
Of course, I was aware they had been really close lately especially since Blake had been training under him as the next Historian of the East.
The days of the wake, Blake looked like a shell of his former sunny self. Whenever I saw him, he was either staring into nothing or was crying silently in a corner. As his friends, we could only console him and support him emotionally.
