G'raha listens with rapt attention as Theo fills him in on everything he's missed - it's a surprising amount given that he didn't think much time had passed, although he has noticed Theo's ability to get dragged into a lot of things very quickly so maybe it isn't that surprising.
It is, of course, just like the stories he grew up reading. The kind of stories he studied as legends and folk tales back in Sharlayan, but brought to life before his eyes - not just in the way Theo tells them, but knowing that he had lived them. It makes his heart ache in a way he doesn't quite understand, something in his soul telling him he should have been there, he should have stayed at Theo's side. He puts it down to his own longing for adventure, and doesn't think more on it than that.
His heart also aches for all the losses Theo has suffered, and he feels a warm admiration for his determination, for his ability to push through all the pain and loss and still be the hero that people needed him to be. It makes him even more impressed than he already was.
When the break in the story comes, it comes full of potential and intrigue, and while G'raha might have had questions or comments before, and indeed may think of them again, later, right now they're overshadowed by the urge to hear the rest of the story, to know what comes next.
"You can't stop there!" He protests before he can think to stop himself, and then smiles sheepishly, ears twitching a little in his embarrassment "I mean, please, I'd like to know what happens next."
