His expression remains sheepish but he does nod - he can't deny that he's a little excitable, that he's hungry for news of what Theo has been doing and that the story is thrilling. He has no questions - or, at least, he has a dozen questions but most of them are about minor details that he can ask later, for now he'd like the end of the story - so he nods again, encouraging Theo to continue.
He's equally fascinated by the remainder of the tale, even if Theo is speaking more plainly, especially when he mentions the crystal tower on the First. He already has a dozen questions and theories but he holds his tongue, suspecting that some of them may be answered if he remains patient. He's right, as it turns out, because when Theo offers him the chance to see for himself, explains what - or rather who - is within the crystal vessel, understanding dawns in a rush that has G'raha's eyes widening.
Now he has an entirely different set of questions.... and the answers to all of them lie in the vessel in Theo's hands. He regards it for a long moment, silent and thoughtful, before finally lifting his eyes to Theo's face.
"Tell me... tell me what happened to him." He says quietly. He knows he has a decision to make, and maybe the answer will help him or maybe it won't, but he feels as though it's important to know.
