           " Heh ", hands on their hips, looking all too confident in words they only viewed as a joke. Neither was qualities Gran held and they knew as much, often lost once conversations was brought into the areas of education and books (now, if it was about airships however...). Zinkenstill didn't exactly provide teaching outside of farm work and the basics, and Gran was never very interested in studying on their own. They were fine with that and happily shared the work requiring such things to the people who knew it. Knowledge that came with age rarely mattered either, seeing as how there was plenty of people they knew who were older. Now, if the topic was about death and dying, then Gran could provide some valuable insight! Unfortunately, it wasn't exactly a popular one.

   Oh. Well, that was boring. And not true, because, really, when was the last time someone actually stopped them? All's well that ends well, after all. At first there's the disappointment, formed into an expression of 'please change your mind', puppy eyes included. That, however, doesn't last long, because eventually Gran has mulled over it enough to decide that Drang was wrong and that no one was actually going to stop them. Because the crew didn't know, and Drang didn't seem too intent on doing it, and that basically meant Gran was free to do whatever they wanted, right?! Even if said thing was to explore a seemingly haunted and off-limits place outside of the city boundaries.

There’s a lot Diantha could probably think or say about Drang. About how, when she first saw him, he always seemed a bit shifty. About how, whenever he talked, it was always like he wanted a specific reaction with each word, yet any reaction - or even just any interaction, for that matter - delighted him. About how, if Strum’s sword wasn’t there to poke him when she needed it, the erune would talk the crew’s ear off to the point where things could get awkward with how much it seemed the man wanted to hear his own thoughts out loud. In a way, Drang almost irked him.

But it’s in the same sense that all of that action contrasts with his more silent or serious moments - however rare those were - that make her so intrigued by him too. In the way he can silent contemplate a serious action for even a brief second before becoming jovial again. The way his mischief seems to hide some sort of bite he’s waiting to use in a fight. The way he can worry over his past employer and her best friends.
