''Well I would have been, if you already knew about them, but i object to spreading them myself, its not fair on her. Still I am not quite finished discussing you yet milady. Tell me......there a mister Ross? or was there? Personal question I know, but you have my curiosity''.
''Sorry to hear that love. What was his name?'' he asked the question before realizing that she may not actually want to talk about it. He kicked himself internally.
- Thomas. However, I'd rather not talk about him too much. I hope you don't mind. - she sipped her drink. - That being said... Did you just adress me as "love"? - she asked with a slight smile, her eyebrows moving a little upwards.
- I don't mind. - she smiled a little bit more. - It's certainly better than what I usually have to listen to. But, I digress into less fun topics. Tell me, John. You mentioned your brothers. How many do you have?
- I have a sister, Martha. I'm not in touch with her that much, though. She chose to leave us and settle in the Edge Worlds. I sometimes think whether it wouldn't have been better if I went with her.
- I believed in fighting for the cause, she didn't. I do not regret my choice to stay, don't get me wrong. It's just the usual "what if" kind of thinking.
