"Heh, what do you want to know?" Aiden asked with a smile on his face, and as of now they had walked a bit further to sit underneath the tree.
"For a start, I know you're from Dragonhold, but why are you here in Xathia? Why leave the Kingdom's capital?" Laela asked, rather curious as to how his life got to this point.
"I wanted to be able to lead my own life," Aiden said, shrugging afterwards. "In Dragonhold, I was absolutely nothing."
"You're not worried you left people who matter behind? Family? A lover? Even companions?" Laela carried on with another question.
Aiden laughed for a brief moment and replied back, "My father has no use for me. Although I admit, I miss my step sister Lysandra, and my friend Grandal. They both looked out for me a lot. My step brother Lucas, on the other hand, is the definition of an arse…"
Laela chuckled at the last statement and Aiden laughed too, then added "and for lover, I've never had one till you."
