Even if Alden never loved him back, he wanted Alden to actually understand his feelings and at least feel good about the fact that he was loved.<br/><br/>"I'd love to see your collection," said Abir. "While I have seen much of the world, I haven't actually seen many of the wondrous monsters in it. We tend to avoid them most of the time."<br/><br/>Abir led the way back to his tent and closed the flap behind them. "Go ahead, grab your real cloak. Then, if you don't mind, I need a little privacy so I can change for our trip."
