Draiss froze, and the world stopped around him. He tilted his head as they all froze, the words replaying a half dozen times, before he turned, slowly, and simply stared at him. After an endless moment, the world started moving again, and he didn't even break stride, and no one around them seemed to have noticed that soft, private moment. He smiled softly, almost a smirk but it had no malice in it. "Perhaps you are. A tiny fragment of him, mayhap, but nothing more. And the name, I am not sure if it was meant in jest, but it was a poor one. I had the privilege of calling the original friend, and future brother-in-law. Disgrace his name, and I will have more than just words for you. Bring honor to his name, and I might try to persuade you to my service."<br/><br/>He followed along for several minutes, clearly rolling his eyes at the design, but said nothing more, saving his mirth for Barid. Just like old times.
