"So all we can do is wait." He felt bad about that, though he supposed he can't really be surprised. It was times like this that he wondered if it was a good idea to remove all of his runes, but then he'd recall that he was already pretty suspicious without them, so he didn't really think having so many runes as a war orphan would make sense.

It felt like a witch hunt all over again, he thought bitterly. Having to hide his rune now more than ever when he realized the Malnosso was taking them, and worrying about people who might be affected. Did Luc really have a True Rune? Did Tir? He didn't want either of them to suffer like he saw of that man, and it was frustrating in a sense, because one reason he had hoped this would be a better place was because he thought that the chase was over. Apparently not.
