Eyeing the man named Xeruz, Szeina found herself the only one left to talk to him.
Granola was reluctant to leave her with the man, but on Szeina's insistence, she walked outside with Queedor and Neyandro tagging along.
"You know, you look too young to be my grandfather." Szeina commented, watching Xeruz.
"People say that age is just a number. For our kind that could be taken literally."
Szeina scoffed.
"Are you trying to be philosophical with me right now?"
Xeruz looked at Szeina and smiled.
"I'm more than meets the eye, dear child. I've been alive for a thousand years. The world we live in, I witnessed it evolve from the past up to the present. I know it's not easy to grasp this all of a sudden." Xeruz paused to catch his breath.
"When I granted Granola to care for you, I was hoping that she'd at least prepare you for what's coming. I am quite disappointed that none of those things transpired."
