Rayna's head snapped up, totally stunned. Seriously? It was like everyone in Pagna had forgotten how to actually talk to each other, just doing whatever they wanted without a word.
"Wait, Dame, you're leaving Pagna?" she exclaimed. "After everything that's happened? What about the Neverfall Clan? There's a place for you there, you know. Everyone will accept you, and Fing's not the same as he used to be."
Dame shrugged, a familiar, almost reckless glint in his eyes. "I never planned to lead the Neverfall Clan, not from day one. You and Fing are more than capable of handling things there." He paused, his gaze drifting towards the fading light outside the tent. "I always wanted to forge my own path, and for a while, I thought I was doing that with Raze. But now that Raze is heading out, and the whole crazy situation in Pagna has... settled, I guess, my whole perspective has shifted."
