[ He knows that "family" is a touchy subject. G'raha knows that Daqiang has not had a particularly kind childhood. Now had he known the specifics to this extent? No, not at all. G'raha can't imagine what it is like to have a family that would want to kill him. Hurt him.

Though that's not what G'raha would ever want. And even though the man is growing more distant, that's not something that G'raha will allow either. Hence it is his turn to take hold of the man's sleeve and look up at him with that stubborn glint in his eye. ]

I am sorry that it was the case for you, Daqiang. Were I able to go back in time and resolve it for you, I would. [ And he means it! ] Alas, I no longer have that that ability.

[ His expression softens. ]

Family is not always blood. Your dragon and your flower. This crew that you've put together... Those that you trust and have given you their trust in return. These individuals could all be defined as your family. One that you have selected for yourself. Quite frankly, the only thing that I would ever wish of you is for your happiness. What I wish of you is to flourish and for you to see yourself as many others do.
