If it had been his mother making him sad, it was the numweous people approaching him.with secret agenda that made him suspicious and cautious towards other people. This night, he frustratingly found that his guard had been lowered, way too quickly for Al. He once again wore his mask of ice and stood up. "I thought Mira's going to bring you the tea.
