Alaric sits at a table picking at his food with this fork and only occasionally eating any of it. His expression is blank, with an empty feeling in his eyes.
"Alaric..." Deron walks up behind Alaric and grabs him by the shoulder to get his attention, "What's going on with you...?"
"Nothing," Alaric attempts to brush Deron off and continue staring at his food, but Deron spins him around, "What do you think you are doing?!"
"I am not good at these types of conversations, So I will be as blunt as possible..." Deron says, "Soon, all of us, are going to be facing the gods to do the impossible, and I'd like it if we were all on the same page... But you have been in an entirely different book the entire time we've been here, so I would like to know why..."
"We can't force him to talk about it," Jibani tries to reason, hoping to get through to Deron before this causes a scene.
