When Grey entered the Captain's silent compound, he saw him talking to Zuro with a serious expression on his face. Zuro was listening but the burly man's usual playful attitude was no where to be seen.
A baleful aura and the smell of blood emanated from his large figure. It was clear that he had just returned from the corroded zone.
The Captain gave a curt to Grey while Zuro just raised his hand up as a sign of acknowledgment. Grey greeted the two of them and entered the house.
He then went to prepare a small dinner for the Captain and Zuro who moved inside after a while.
Grey did not try to eavedrop, he was not particularly interested in their conversations so he went to his room and sat down silently to cultivate. After a unknown time had passed, he heard the sound of a closing door and knew that Zuro had gone.
Then the light was switched off. With Grey's indifferent expression, he shut his eyes and entered into a meditative state once again.
