crying isn't secret, it's the art of how we grieve

The touch of his muzzle against my ankle is light, but I feel it almost as if I'd been shocked. I swing my head toward him and lower my muzzle so it touches his briefly before I go back to snuggling Manhattan. She's such a sweet dog, I think. I've always wanted a dragon to be my companion because I'd grown up with Tallis. I know I'll never be able to bond to on, but Manhattan makes me think that maybe that's not so bad. There are plenty of others out there looking for a bondmate. I just haven't found the right one for me yet.

"He does?" I voice my question after he says his father tells him stories of my mother. "My mother used to always tell me stories of your father. What stories does he tell you?" I ask then listen, a smile growing as he tells me that my mother had brought apples to a monster in a castle. She'd never told me that story or that it was how she'd gotten the ability to bend the trees.

"That sounds like my mother." I murmur. "She was always looking to do right by others." It was so like her to befriend a monster. "She always told me that everyone was innately good, that there was no such thing as 'pure evil'. The evil everyone talks about is created by us, inside our minds. We are the ultimate masters over who we are and what we want to be. We create the evil that we fear and we let it manifest." My voice had taken on a serious tone, but I didn't want the conversation to turn serious again.

"My mother told me that she and your father both lived in trees." I blurted out in an attempt to lighten the mood once more.
