Allendris listened as the woman regaled him with various details about her home holds, noting the grin that the memories had brought to her face. Those must have been happier times, he thought. So her family, too, had prospered where the dragonmen had known only suffering.
Yet despite this similarity in their past, the craftsman elected not to share the details of his own home and rank... especially not after she had mentioned the decadence with which the Lords lived. It was true, and he didn't approve of it much himself - Allendris was not a man who flaunted his wealth so brazenly. But it would be hypocritical of him to condemn them when it had been the Lady Holder's money that had bought him these rings, and so many of the finely stitched tunics he wore.
"What if what comes back? Thread?" he answered Lymsleia's glance with a skeptical raise of one brow. Did he believe in Thread? Even after coming here and seeing for his own eyes that dragons still existed, he wasn't certain. His family had always told him one thing, and the Harpers another - to choose a side with so little evidence one way or another was agony itself. But one thing he did know for absolute certain: "Many holders won't believe in it until it's already falling on their heads. The dragonfolk know that."
