Book 18: Chapter 2: Part 6
“…can I help you?”
After watching Filma walk towards Shin and the others, Shibaid turned to another direction. His gaze was directed at Milt.
“As we still have some time until our destination, I thought it could be a good opportunity to talk.”
“There is no need to be so polite. This is the way of speaking I find most comfortable, so you should do the same, Milt.”
“Is that so? Thank you, then.”
Despite being with Shin’s party pretty often, outside of Shin and a developing relationship with Tiera, Milt had never really interacted with the others.
Thanks to his experiences, Shibaid quickly understood that she was nervous. She looked like the kind of person who could easily get along with anyone, but that was just a front she put on.
Shibaid knew such a person already, so he did not have trouble understanding Milt.
“We never talked much, but I guess we go a long way back too. It’s a strange feeling, to be honest…but I don’t suppose you’re here to chit-chat.”
