"But how can you know?" He didn't understand. How could she put so much trust in a stranger who had admitted his foul deeds so openly? How could she not be suspicious that he was setting her up for it here and now? It would have been easy, he knew that even though he didn't want to think about it, and she certainly must have known it also. The thought crossed his mind to act like he just might do it, to frighten her enough so that she might run away, but in his heart he knew that he couldn't even pretend to do such. It would hurt him to much. He turned his head back in then, ears cupped toward her awaiting some kind of speech, some declaration that she wanted to leave, and he nuzzled her much like a child might nuzzle their mother while seeking comfort and protection from some sort of invisible monster. The one difference was, Conri was the monster that he was hiding from. |
