After a long silence, the voice on the other end of the line finally spoke. "Tristan's grandmother passed away last night. I've tried calling him a few times, but his phone's been off and I can't get through."
"What? She passed away last night? Why didn't you tell me?" Aiden Avery was instantly flustered.
"What good would telling you do? You're in Eldoria right now. Besides, Tristan didn't tell us himself, which means he doesn't want us to bother him."
Hearing Cassian Jennings's words, Aiden Avery had to admit he'd overreacted. "Heh, you've got a point. If Tristan didn't tell us, it means he doesn't want to be disturbed. I just never thought that besides chasing skirts, the great Master Jennings actually knew how to read people. How rare. Truly rare."
"Aiden Avery, what's that supposed to mean?!"
"Haha, nothing else. It means exactly what it sounds like."
