Of course the other man cleared it quickly and went back to being all stoic or whatever. Lame. He greeted both of them a little coldly and Ashmedai's smile twitched a tad higher. Acting as if they were ever really family was pointless. Ash had never been close to Rhyme not growing up or as adults. The loss of him as a family member meant little to nothing to Ashmedai and it felt as if he was approaching any other stranger who disliked him or his family.
