REYNOLDS LEYWIN’S POV:
I hated myself for what had happened A part of me wished I had told Arthur that it was okay… that he was still faer part of me, the part that I hated, wished he would’ve just never told us
I had known since early on in Arthur’s life that he was different He had always been e, and even when he acted his age, it seemed… rehearsed Since early on, his actions always displayed a certain sense of foresight; there was always a reason he did sooal or plan of soht up on his reason for telling us this Wouldn’t it have been better for everyone, even for himself, if he had kept it a secret? What was the reason? What was his goal?
Why was it so hard for ainst my own pride? My own selfish pride that enius that only cans were always there His strange behavior froe, his unexplainable prowess as a swordsain… Did I subconsciously choose to ignore all of those signs so I canjust to accept the fact that that my own flesh and blood, my… son, could be so bloody ih at myself at how difficult it was to say ‘son’, such a siaround, the only one I could see was Elder Rinia, as cradling sohter was in, but for soo inside Instead, I sat down next to our benefactor

“I was afraid of the day when he would tell you”

“Weren’t you wishi+ng Arthur would’ve just kept his norant of who the boy really is? I bet you were also wondering why the boy told you in the first place, right?”

Elder Rinia straightened up and continued “As I was saying, es like validity, efficiency, utility… anything logical That’s what gets us hurt or even killed, yet, we can’t seereater as a group”
“So… Arthur was running ic when he told us this?”
“Bah! How could I knohat he’s thinking?” She shook her head, “I do know this, though I’ve known the boy since he was away since then Much of that cold shell of his has slowly e step he had to take to break out of that shell he once found safety and coot up and stretched painfully before handing“Hold on to this for me so that I can prepare some food for your wife I suspect she won’t have much of an appetite but she still needs to care for her body”

“How are you feeling?” I gently asked, taking a seat next to her
