"Crossing the Wastes all alone, it's a good thing you contacted me; if it were your parents, they..." He suddenly paused.

That's why I had contacted Uncle Mordek; out of everyone in my family, he was the least likely to care about flimsy things as a reputation.
Uncle Mordek lightly coughed to dispel the awkwardness before slowly taking out a skewer-like tool and stabbing it inside one of the carcasses.
"And what happened to your leg?" He asked after pausing for a while.
"It was a duskwraith that attacked me while I was sleeping," I answered, pushing my wheelchair a little bit closer.
