Arlyth remained silent, and pushed the contempt he felt for the genasi to one side, instead he focused on being around his cousins, and Alae's hand on his shoulder. He brightened visibly, and almost seemed to be smiling. His aura had turned from dark to light, and he was happy. Perfectly content to let Alae do the talking, he once again seemed his usual cheerful self, despite the fact he had said nothing aloud. He didn't need to. Those who could read body language would have noticed it; his shoulders relaxed, the slight crease in his brow was gone, as was the wariness in his eyes, the stiff posture relaxed. Almost as though a burdan had been lifted from him. He smiled at his cousin, and waited for her to reply.
