"What do you mean you didn't have a choice?" Nadia asked, unable to understand why a father would abandon his daughter and travel across the world.
Naturally, such a thing was foreign to her as the most impactful men in her life, her father and Arthur, had never abandoned her when she was struggling to find herself in the world.
So why?... Why was Gregory's case different?
Gregory let out a melancholic sigh while taking the time to look around, seemingly indulging in the sights about him.
Silence persisted briefly causing Nadia to speak up. "Answer me!"
"... When my wife conceived Arwen, it was the happiest day of our lives. As Mystics, it was difficult to have children and in a way, we had resigned ourselves to remain childless for the rest of our lives. But then she came and everything changed."
"..." Nadia stayed silent, paying heed to everything that Gregory said, perhaps in a desperate bid to understand why he did what he did.
