Everything about Alystren, from his head to his toes, screamed to Northern, "See me, I am shady as hell."
It was perplexing that he couldn't figure out what exactly the old joker was thinking.
But Northern wasn't in a rush.
"You see, I've decided to live my life by following my gut and instincts," Alystren said. "That way, I've managed to survive deadly situations. My gut and instincts have brought me this far, boy, so I'm unapologetically myself. I just hope my son understands that one day."
Alystren sighed.
Shin immediately patted his shoulder. "I'm sure the young lad will come to appreciate your nature and find value in your philosophy."
"Right? I know, right?!" Alystren's tone rose excitedly.
As Northern listened to Shin, the more he spoke, the less he resembled the father Northern once knew.
'What the hell is that? He sounds so nice, I think I might puke.'
