“It’s not really any of your business, now is it?” Thrash asked bitterly. He wasn’t expecting an answer though. Drak remained silent. Thrash softened a little bit, remembering his childhood once again.

Drak nodded in understanding. “We’ve all got something in our past that we’d rather not mention. It’s ok. It seems a touchy subject, so I won’t make you tell. I hope you and your brother get to be close again though.” He was no longer crying, but he still seemed a bit upset.

“Are you kidding? I’ve been trying, but I suck at it! Do you think that maybe you can teach me?”

“Alright.”

“Yes!!!”

Thrash wasn’t nearly as ecstatic as Drak, in fact he wasn’t at all, but he was only doing this as a form of thanks for being able to stay with Drak and not go home to his brother just yet. “Ok, first of all the sentence structure is…”
