Oh, my, my, you're oh so sly. Let's leave unsaid what's left unspoken. ___ That momentary pause allowed him to examine the other for a few moments, eyeing him as he responded. Though he showed no expression of emotion, and there was no change in his voice, it made Hybrid curious as to what he was really thinking. Sometimes he lied, and other times, it was the straight and honest truth. No matter how skewed his perception might be (or, in another's eyes at least), his words usually held a double meaning. When he was with Vitium, there was always an innuendo implying a want, a desire. With Nyika, it had always been a constant annoyance, and with Gabriel? What was it? He had never known how to approach the male, and they had been neither friendly nor hostile towards one another in the past. But even still, what could it mean? ___ He glanced at the other male one last time before casting his gaze back to the ocean. Gabriel, too, was looking at it now, the long expanse of water that compelled the coyotes of Inferni to see. Where Hybrid saw sheer strength in the ocean, a bold representation of power, he wondered what Gabriel saw. "Not everything, though," he stated, keeping his gaze focused on the horizon line. Try as any coyote might, there was only so much they could have, only so much they could conquer or inherit. Here, it was easy to see the vast difference there was between their species and the ocean that taunted them. Were they weak? Only if they could not recognize their weaknesses. Were they foolish? Only if they refused to admit to themselves such things. |
