You're not a monster.

Well thank you for noticing comes the reply in my throat, but I don't say anything. It's just another thing that I'm not. I can't believe I am going to sulk about not being a monster when 3 seconds ago I thought I was going to die at the hands of one. But I notice how utterly disappointed he looks and I just can't help it.

It's then that my eyes slide to side and fall upon his companion. It's beautiful. I don't know what it is but ... But I am jealous of it. At least they have each other. They apparently are looking for monsters while I ... I have no one to fight monsters with in the dark. When the boy is disappointed at least he'll have his friend. When I am disappointed all I have are duty and obligation.

He asks what I am doing and the reminder of what it is I'm here to do and why it is I'm here to do it feel crushing. "I'm here to gather glowing things ... moss I think.." I answer rather distractedly, still thinking about how stupid I was to come down here alone. ... for the festival of the Sun.." I finish, my gaze snapping back to Adelric's.

I catch him looking at my wing which causes me to shuffle self consciously. Does he think the glowing ember pattern is strange? Does he think it's ugly? I tuck my wings against my sooty flanks, ruffling my feathers uncomfortably with the swiftness of the motion. JUST STOP I want to scream. I KNOW I'M THE WORST. JUST GO AWAY WOULD YOU. But of course I don't. I have been raised to be polite and courteous. "No monsters." I confirm with a bitter laugh, as if moments ago I hadn't been completely certain that there were.

When did I become such a liar?

"But you never know ... Further down there might be some. I think I heard sounds that way." I indicate, motioning over my shoulder with my muzzle. I'd really like this fellow to come along, even if I'm not so sure about him. I don't want to be alone down here. And who knows, there really could be monsters.

"You can come with me if you want. If you aren't afraid I guess."

A liar and a manipulator ?
