So I did and they listened with bated breath. They hung on my every word like I was really someone special. Ha, I guess I am. But I did leave out what happened with Anton and kept to the story I told Sever.

After I finished explaining there was a period of silence and contemplation. I'm starting to get nervous again, say something.
