It was better that the Clovenheart didn't know Rhea well. If she knew him she would sense his distress, or maybe ask what was wrong. She would try to delve deeper before he'd offered to share, try to dig in. As it were she was a distraction instead, someone whom perhaps he could talk to about his rather monolithic problems but didn't have to if he wasn't so inclined. There was a simplicity in that which the haruspex took comfort in. She knew his name and he knew hers--there wasn't much else to it. What brings you all the way out here? He stood still, freezing, and wondered the very same thing. There was a deep and dishonorable truth and then there was a simpler, warmer one. As the haruspex looked at her dark hybrid figure standing so sturdy in the snow, he knew that she would be able to accept either answer. But he couldn't, so he told her the easy thing instead. "I'm just trying to get home," he called back, trudging forward a few more steps until she was less of a blur through the snow and closer--almost within his reach. It was a stretch and he didn't deserve the comfort of touch, didn't have the right to act as if he were unchanged, but he reached out his nose to try and touch hers in his customary greeting. That was what they all knew him for nowadays, wasn't it? The way he touched, the way he loved, the way he felt for everyone he ever met. But only he knew the way that he killed. "Are you heading back too?" Ashamin asked, his tone concerned even in his effort to sound flat and deaden his emotion. The truth was though that her presence was a comfort. She seemed strong when he was not--she could have given into this weather but she had pressed on, and without her example he might not have done the same. "It might be good to stick together," he added, as if he was not some monster that should be locked away to suffer in eternal solitude. "" |
