Maple Swallow smiled, poured himself half a glass of wine, and said to Trenton Smith, "You're my younger brother, your affairs are mine, how could they be an intrusion? I actually wish you'd share everything with me so I'd be better prepared. You know how much you've scared me over the past few years, right?"
Trenton Smith, uncharacteristically embarrassed, had always followed his whims, seldom considering others' feelings. Hearing Maple Swallow's complaint, he also recalled his years of reckless behavior, "Sorry," he apologized again, "It probably won't happen again."
With this matter settled, there were no more obstacles between him and Norris Moore, and there was no need for him to undertake anything dangerous.
Hearing this, Maple Swallow looked up: "Have you thought about what you'll do when Norris comes back?"
"I plan to go back to Tung City."
Maple Swallow raised his head, "Back to Tung City?"
