Markus nodded in understanding as the man told him not to apologize. He continued sipping his tea, listening attentively without interruption. As the man mentioned the sirens, Markus nodded in agreement. He remembered that he had previously warned Kai about the dangers of the water when they first met, in part due to the sirens, even if he didn't mention them directly.
Markus observed the man's smile falter as the conversation changed, and he responded with a sympathetic smile of his own. “I see,” Markus said, motioning for the man to continue. He had no intention of interrupting and was willing to give Kai all the time he needed.
