[No. He didn't want to make this about himself. It was easy enough for Manolo to say these things and believe them but Joaquin, he just hadn't really had anyone to tell him stories. Even the ones Posada talked about, it wasn't from a very close standpoint despite his reassurances that Captain Mondragon had been like a brother. He still saw him like a hero, spoke of him with awe in his voice. With distance.
But again, Joaquin didn't want to make tonight about himself. He shifted.]
Then why don't you tell me a story then. About someone in you family.
