Hearing the tone, he would glance at the other yet his posture remained stiff. ❝Hm, something like that.❞ He took a long drag of his cigarette before blowing it out. ❝Are you here long? I apologise if I did not hear you approach, my mind has been.. preoccupied.❞ Honestly.

Shaking his head for a brief moment before glancing towards his oath brother. ❝I am well, please, do not worry about me.❞ Stoic as usual, yet his brown hues seemed soft.

He raises an eyebrow before turning to face away from him, his back exposed to Mine. ❝Hm. How have you been, during these times?❞ His tone was low, as his eyes focused ahead of him.. The grip of his cigarette was between his index and middle finger.. as he blew out again.

Peace. . Oh. It's snowing.
