There was silence for a moment, the two simply staring at each other and if he was completely honest there was a part of Kismet that almost expected Soren to try and bolt. Instead though he remained stationary and a single comment that was lacked in emotion. There was none of the initial joy that Azalea had shown on his return or the annoyance that she'd felt moments later upon realising he had vanished to spend time with a girl. The irritation ought to be understandable though, none of his family knew how important Warja was to him and aside from explaining who 'the girl' was to his mother he hadn't mentioned Warja at all since they had played together as children on the island.
"Yes." Came his equally simple reply, not daring to share the information that he had been tempted not to return. It was a fact he knew was best not to tell his family they had been disappointed enough by his trip they didn't need to know it had almost been permanent, especially not given how in pieces they were already. He'd do his best now to try bring them all back together, not to make things worse. "I had to go any see someone. Do you remember Warja, from when Valhalla was on the island? Well I saw her again whilst we were prisoners. She was worried, I had to let her know we were free again."
