As she chuckled, he did as well through the exhale of his breath. “I think you’ve painted a fairly clear picture.” In actuality, he knew very little of where Absinth came from- it didn’t particularly matter to him.

To be entirely honest, I don’t really know much about the man.” He admitted. He didn’t harbor any strong feelings towards his father. None that were negative, nor positive either. Their relationship wasn’t good, it wasn’t bad, it just … was.“I think perhaps he is just mad and didn’t have enough support to sustain it.
