Brance watched in confusion as Cynrik hugged their mother, showing a rare amount of emotion for the first time in years.
{Are..are you crying?} Gasping and covering his mouth with his hand, Brance asked quietly.
{NO,(sniff) I'm not crying. It's just the rain; can't you see it's pouring right now?} Wiping his eyes and releasing his embrace on Cinyah, Cynrik stepped back over to the counter so he could admire his new hidden blades.
"Um…Cynrik's crying." Not letting this opportunity to tease Cynrik go, Brance brought everyone's attention to his older brother, causing Cynrik to shiver and bury his head in the box he was sifting through.
"SHUT UP, NO, I'm not (sniff)." Everyone except Rikard, who was still trying to hide, laughed loudly at Cynrik's expense.
