The truth was, he was a little bewildered by how quickly Cole was changing from one idea to the next. To cover it up, he slowly stood. His armor creaked and groaned with the change, mostly because it had been so wet. But that had been the power of the flood that Rhys hadn't sunk.

He settled to reply to Cole's last statement. He even offered a small smile. "Hello, Cole. It's been... awhile."
