Andre looked around.
---
"There are fifty empty seats."
---
Jack sat anyway.
---
"Good to see you too."
---
Kai couldn't help but chuckle.
---
The commander ordered tea.
---
Not alcohol.
---
Tea.
---
For some reason that felt fitting.
---
Jack leaned back.
---
"How are you adjusting to Yggdrasil?"
---
The question was directed at Kai.
---
"Still figuring things out."
---
"That's normal."
---
Jack smiled.
---
"This city confuses everyone."
---
Even the king."
---
Andre snorted.
---
"Especially the king."
---
Jack actually laughed.
---
The sound surprised Kai.
---
The commander seemed far more approachable outside military settings.
---
For nearly half an hour they talked.
---
Nothing important.
---
Stories.
