“You are alive.”

Sevir rolled his eyes. His big smile excited RuIng more. “and you are smiling. By divine blessing, do you know how long it has been since you last smiled?”

Sevir raised a brow and RuIng scrunched his nose, his features pinching in the center. “I was beginning to think you were changing for the worse.”

Sevir’s brow almost touched his hairline and RuIng laughed jovially. “haughty.”

Sevir shook his head, his smile dulling a little. “The problem is still unsolved. He didn’t know anything about mom and dad. He was just a middleman.”

“What did you do with him?”

Sevir shrugged. “Handed him to the police. What could I have done?”

RuIng looked blankly at him for a moment, longer than a moment, and nodded curtly.

Sevir narrowed his eyes, “you don’t know what police is?”

RuIng smiled tightly, “what is police?”

“People and organization, a post that upholds law and order.”
