Pale eyes that warmed at finding a kindred spirit, and he gave a lopsided, sharp-toothed smile. "Hope I'm there when it happens," he said gruffly. It was a little easier to look down at his papers afterwards; to sketch, on one, the outline of a shield before gluing it more gently into place.
"What was Aino like?" A hesitant question, an anxious glance, unsure if he had any right to ask it. "Only if y'want to talk about her, I mean."
