If her compliment has caused any offence, Oraskis doesn't show it. On the contrary, his eyes squint with his wide, happy smile. "You're very kind to say so. I can hardly imagine what all the fuss and nonsense of Durant traditions must look like to you."
"Viatorus would pick another empathetic soul as his friend." Oraskis chuckles and shakes his head at the predictability of his cousin. His mouth rolls thoughtfully then. "There are times it can be difficult, it's true, but what's the good in dwelling on the bad? There is so much good to focus on in the world and we lead such short lives."
He leans in to say, "Honestly I think my wife suffers from my visions more than I do." Then he lowers his voice a notch and pulls a guilty face. "Shouting jokes at funerals and streaking in public parks isn't as entertaining for the person who has to run after me."
