章節 337: Don't Be Reckless - Part 2

AARYN

Aaryn knew Tarkyn and the other disformed were lost—unaware of, or at least, not entirely comprehending the magnitude of what Reth had just told them all. What he'd just told Gar and Elreth.

The family—his family—all went still. Gar in shock, Elreth stunned, and their parents humbled.

Everyone knew Gar and Reth butted heads. But they'd done a good job of hiding the depth of their conflict from the people. Apryl was clever though, with razor-sharp instincts. And Tarkyn probably knew more than anyone outside the family.

They all knew this was big, they just weren't aware how massive this moment was in Gar's life.

Aaryn was. And he also knew that Gar was off balance—which was the time he was most likely to step forward with an inappropriate joke or worse, anger. So Aaryn launched in before Gar could get his mental feet under him again.
