169 Persuasion

It didn't take long for Evin to understand what was happening. Lora agreed to go to the North with Ssatsko, but Theor was against it. Evin didn't know where Ssatsko and Sasha was, but that didn't seem very important. Perhaps the old man was taking the girl for a walk, so the couples could talk privately.

Evin didn't want to bother them, but he knew he was the cause of all this so he had to say something. 

"Hello, Theor," Evin greeted, hoping he sounded friendly enough.

"You!" Theor snarled. "What did you bring upon my family?!"

<Stay calm if you want to convince him,> Endra reminded. <Remember my talk about conversations?> 

Evin remembered, and he knew that shouting back at Theor was meaningless. Evin looked at Lora, who was meekly standing in front of Theor, not even bothering to reply. The sight angered Evin a bit, but he calmed himself the best he could and replied.

"Yes, yes, I know it's all my fault and I'm sorry," Evin bowed.
