"Do you really want to tell me our grudges while we eat?" Rain asked. "I can tell that some people close to you died in the war, but getting pissed won't change a thing. Remember who started the war."

The room's atmosphere took an awkward turn after Rain's straightforward remark. While his logic was sound, his no-nonsense approach left the conversation feeling somewhat tense. Rain had little patience for pleasantries and preferred to get straight to the point, which sometimes rubbed people the wrong way.

Geio let out a weary sigh. He wasn't entirely unsympathetic to Rain's perspective; there was a valid point to be made. However, Rain's unflinchingly calm demeanor when presenting his argument seemed to irk him. Branden and Esmeralda, while trying to maintain composure, couldn't completely hide their discomfort either.

"You are quite different than the rumors say… some people believe that you are a giant that only bathes in the blood of your enemies," Geio said.
