Abasi had never thought of himself as the kind of person that could make someone the 'happiest they'd ever been' - the thought was almost absurd, really. He was sure if any of his acquaintances back in Egypt had heard that they would have laughed. For all the bizarre nature of the statement though, it made his heart warm; he kissed Loren gladly.
"I must teach you. It is an important skill - what if you find yourself in a river stuck one day? When it is warmer, I will show you how."

In many ways he wasn't one of the people here, but he didn't say that. It was true that with each passing day he felt a little more like a citizen of Caido. "I believe. I just believe the Gods don't like me and in some ways, rather return the opinion." He said, raising his chin just slightly.
"A blessing...?" He asked, trying his best to hide his jealousy. "What is it?"
ABASI
it's sad to know that we are not alone
it's sad to know there's no honest way out
