He didn't seem to get it, "who are you, than?"

"Addor."

"...AAAND you're doing it anyway, GREAT. Wait, did I know your name?"

"I'm Laoda, what family are you from?"

"I'm orphaned."

Able was strangely quiet. Had he always known so little about her? He knew she fought well... He knew she didn't show much expression... Had he ever asked her about herself?

He hadn't expected her to bring up a topic like that. "Why are you interested in a study of souls? It seems very... Detailed, there must be a reason."

Addor didn't even pause, "To return Fan Rei her body."

Able startled.
