Velraeth watched this exchange with growing interest.
The way the others immediately responded to his words.

There was something about him.
A familiarity she couldn't quite place.
Something in his presence that resonated with her on an instinctive level.
With the way her eyes tried to see through him, she could feel a sort of connection between them.
