"So…"

The man's voice curled into a low drawl. Almost nervous in a way.

I sighed and turned, placing my gaze on him. I'm tired... I'm grumpy... I just want to go to sleep but no~ this guy wants to talk to me. About what? I don't really know. But what I do know, is that I really- really just want to sleep.

But that goes against his wishes apparently.

"What?"

I don't raise my voice. But the annoyance is well and truly clear.

He rubs the back of his neck, sheepish.

"I'm- Sorry, but I really do need to know."

"Know what?"

"Why? I've seen you fight, it's clear that you can survive, I don't doubt that. But why? Why stay here, you can go anywhere, be anywhere with that level of power, so why stay here?"

My scowl is clear as day now.
