The Identity

Liora stepped out of the banquet hall. A soft smile still graced his delicate face. He was about to go toward the docking area when a voice stopped him.

"Mr. Verran. I did not expect to see you here," Kaizen trotted over to the smaller male.

"Hi there, Kaizen. How is your mother?"

Kaizen's eyes dimmed as he thought about his mother.

"She is doing great, actually. In two days, she will get married to her third boyfriend."

"What about the hospital?"

Kaizen sighed lightly before replying, "She is fine now, or she has always been. I mean...who knows,"

Liora raised his hand to pat the tuft of pink hair, however, Kaizen's taller build did not allow him the luxury. So, Liora settled for the next best thing. He patted his shoulder.

"It must have been hard to be with Roxina when she is acting like that, but you can think of it in a different way."
