"What?" Grain said out loud.
Immediately covering his mouth and figuratively kicking himself for reacting like that.
The response was not lost on Leon, who stared the young man down.
Spending a few moments to think, before speaking.
"Yes, GateGear's are things of legends. Immensely powerful beings that came form other worlds. They have been Kings, Heroes, and bringers of destruction."
Leon again stared into nothing, spending a few seconds composing himself before continuing.
"I will not reveal any more information, until you tell me who and what you are."
Grain looked at the ground, trying to decide whether or not this was the right path.
If he revealed too much about himself, they could use it to hurt him. He had spent so long trying to keep people away, that he was scared to open up.
Leon wasn't wrong when he said the BloodWar had changed him.
He was scared of everything now.
Everything was a threat.
