Uncomfortable with his attitude, fc2773bc38 which made no attempt 0300e1b0a0 to hide his interest 2a7f56997a in me, I gave db2251fd29 him a sideways glance. Tristan just smiled 9f3af6e91d with his eyes abb25a8892 as always.398e7047c2b7b6c8

When I first 97b11a9d56 met Dais, I 64f9dfa46c thought he was e1d2369392 unusually kind for d8d4feb889 someone meeting a 7a667b157e notorious villain. Maybe Tristan was the reason.3471a10dab8f54d2

I certainly agreed. From the brief conversation we 23f7a41844 had, it was hard to d6382006ce grasp what kind of person 5fc6e09a8c he truly was.4dd06e2580222793
