Evan started lightly when he felt a jolt of -something- pass through his arm when he shook hands with Nexoki.  He took his hand back and examined it, there were faint markings that glowed a bit, but dimmed after a few seconds. Evan frowned, but decided to investigate that for later. Evan was surprised that Nexoki had agreed to his deal so easily, after everything that had happened Evan expected him to just ignore it and lock him up here. There was a pleasant feeling warmed  his chest and gave Nexoki a small but true smile.<br/><br/>There was a loud grumbling and Evan looked down grabbing his stomach, a light blush dusted across his cheeks. "Yeah actually food sounds amazing right now." he hadn't eaten since early yesterday evening. All this excitement must have stirred his appetite. "If you don't mind."<br/><br/>As Evan listened to  Nexoki speak, he couldn't help but feel his respect for his grandfather grow. "He really meant a lot to you...didn't he?" Evan spoke softly thinking of his old man. Then he stiffened like someone had dropped a bucket of ice cold water over his head. "O-oh, oh no. you don't know...."<br/><br/>Christ...how could he have forgotten that of all things? The very reason his familiarly had moved into thier house in the first place.<br/><br/>"I mean....I-the old man- my grandfather, Nate. He...He passed away about five days ago...." Evan placed his hand over his mouth looking firmly down on the ground and not at Nexoki trying furtively to blink away the tears forming in his eyes.<br/><br/>"I...I'm sorry."
