Rasmus and Aris silently stared at each other for almost a whole minute since Lenin and Novia left. Neither of them showed any expression, but they still couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"You're small," Aris said, breaking the silence as she crossed her arms.
"Are all Orthias tall like you?" Rasmus asked with his eyes slightly narrowed. "I remember my late mother wasn't as tall as you. She was only a bit taller than me if she's still alive by now."
"Yes, we are taller than humans in general, for the warriors at least," Aris nodded and kept observing Rasmus's appearance.
Rasmus tilted his head, intrigued by the conversation because he could ask everything related to Orthias and who they actually were. He poured tea into his cup and one for her as well.
