Bab 275: Blame (2)

Kace continued to stare at Jal for a while. He just could not make sense of what he had said. 'There has to be more to it.' As Kace thought about it, he realised that the old captain was probably just blaming himself because he failed in his duties. 

"Can you tell us exactly what happened? It might be important." Kace asked with a solemn tone. He only hoped that Jal would grant this request. It would not be pleasant for him to dredge up the memories of his failures.

Grugda relaxed a bit as he realised that Kace was pumping the guy for information. 'Something he said. Surprised Kace. I don't think. He believes. It.' Grugda fixed the native with all three of his eyes. 'This guy. Is broken.' That's the feeling Grugda got from the native's body language and the grief he was emanating.
