Keith: (thoughts) “Hm…”
Keith: (thoughts) I honestly never imagined my return to be like this… I mean, I didn’t expect parades…
Keith: (thoughts) I half expected to be banished again.
Keith: (thoughts) But life’s gone on without me…
Keith: (thoughts) I’d thought that I’d feel different once I returned home.
Keith: (thoughts) I’d hate to admit it, but I’m glad Alaric is here. As big a pain as he can be, it’s nice to have a friend back.
Nickolai: Hah! I saw that!
Keith: Wha-?
Nickolai: That’s the first time I’ve seen you smile today!
Nickolai: The Keith I remember…
Nickolai: …was a playful, scrawny thing of a Basitin. You were always laughing…
Nickolai: I was beginning to think the Basitin I knew was gone for good… But I can tell you’re still in there… under that cynical shell. I’m glad you’re back, Keith.
Keith: I guess I… I’m glad to be back, Alaric.
