Midas take away the pain inflicted on me, the hunger you're letting me feed Her response is an amusing one, and I find myself grinning wider in spite of previous musings. It seemed that I wasn’t the only soul who thought our kin was one hoofprint away from bursting through the bushes with the look of a rabid animal. I shook my head, good humor jerking the formality from my tone, “Seems ye can handle a fight well enough; though I’d rather stay out of trouble today.” She drew closer, edging beneath the shadows of my hollow. I welcomed the approach and drifted muzzle toward hers in an attempt at offering my acceptance and willingness to form a connection. There was so much about Seele that was a mystery to me, we scarcely talked aside from formalities and council meetings. Gaze softened, allowing the faintest notion of vulnerability to climb above my towering walls. The way she spoke now, softly, almost alluringly was driving my curiosity into higher levels that couldn’t be tamed for long. It was then that my fellow colead asked something that surprised the core of my being. I recovered quickly, hardly allowing time for the question to register, “Aye,” I heard myself reply automatically and without much feeling, “I am well.” A lie. My own flesh hadn’t taken the time to ask upon my conflict in this whole upsetting business; and here was a woman who hadn’t shown me any other side but the formal mask of duty—asking me if I was alright. A heavy chuckle flitted past my lips, finding amusement not in her question but in the regard that she was showing me when my own family had seemingly forgotten that I was also a fleshy creature, “Nay actually…I cry ye’s pardon. I’m…coping, tis still the sand which calls my soul even now.” It was a shameful admission that I hadn't yet grown strong enough to recover from moving homes, trading loyalty and the cries of warriors for the forked tongues of liars and traitors. Why was I telling her this truth? |
