Removing Impurities

"That… was a far more comprehensive answer than I initially thought." Committing every word Noel had spoken to him regarding the reason why he could not stay in the Shadow Plane after sunset as of yet, Valyr was silent for a minute or so before finally being able to respond, feeling a hint of guilt after recalling the expressions the old man had made during his explanation.

"I… also apologize for bringing up some bad memories, Elder Noel," said Valyr soon after, turning to look at the ground as he let out a faint sigh.

"Why are you apologizing for something you don't have control over?" Letting out a sigh of his own in response, Noel told the young man to look back at him, leaving the young man no choice but to do so. "It was my mind that decided to bring up some memories I thought I'd already forgotten out of nowhere. You don't have apologize for it."
