Seeing that he was in a good mood, Colin asked tentatively, "This place is...?"
"It's my wife's old house. She passed away more than eighty years ago." Salin waved his hand and started walking in the direction of Rommon. "I force myself to come visit her every now and then. Otherwise, the young lady would get bored all alone here."
The other two remained silent.
Colin glanced over. Kase looked like he couldn't care less, while Orelia's eyes held a trace of sympathy and guilt.
'Half-Sheepmen do seem to live quite a bit longer than humans,' he thought. 'Falling in love with one would be a truly painful affair.'
He spoke up, "I asked the Paladins about you. They said no one knows why you come here once a year."
Salin burst out laughing at his words. Once he was done, he said, "Perhaps no one can believe that a dashing old Half-Sheepman is actually just a poor sap shackled to the past."
