Gromli: shaking his head My clan... well, let's just say they're all dead now. They were wiped out during that devastating war years ago.
Gromli: shrugs nonchalantly Thanks, but don't get all mushy on me. It's not like I can go back to how things were.

Gromli: extends his hand Alright then, Pearson. Let's shake on it and agree to be partners in this crazy adventure.
