"Your... brother?"
Levi forgot to close his mouth, letting the shower pour straight into it.
He swallowed, coughed, and turned his face away from the stream... yet even that failed to pull his thoughts past those two words.
Ash'Kral had a brother?
For some reason, the possibility never crossed his mind.
He knew the asshole kept old acquaintances scattered throughout the universe... the Titan alone proved that.
There were enemies too, probably enough to fill a planet, along with former partners unfortunate enough to endure his company.
But a family?
Whenever Levi imagined Ash'Kral's past, he pictured him roaming alone, pursuing whatever caught his interest and making everyone nearby regret meeting him.
Even his friendship with the Titan seemed to survive mostly through their mutual willingness to tolerate each other's bullshit.
