Holuff watched Kieran play with his hands and perform all sorts of shadow tricks on the wall. He went silent for a while before he shook his head.
"It's not the same. They don't have a soul," said Holuff.
"Soul? Your's is also a normal shadow trick, there's no soul in it, right?" Borl was surprised.
Holuff cleared his throat a few times, the first time he realized how vexing Borl could be.
'You don't even know how to negotiate with people, how the hell did you become a merchant?
Did you buy your name and position with money?'
Holuff glared at Borl and Borl scratched his face awkwardly, then went silent.
Holuff then looked at Kieran again.
"Do you think I'm lying to you?" asked Holuff.
Before Kieran had the chance to reply, he continued, "Sometimes, when you can't see something, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. If you have enough talent, you should be able to see it. I really think you can do it, but too bad…"
