He cared little for the small things she occupied herself with as she remained in his presence. It was rare for others to seek him out, and rarer for their presence to linger for a longer period of time. His nature didn’t invite to interaction and he was well aware of this. It was as it should be, for he wasn’t meant to be the centre of attention. Sunset eyes saw only the richness of coloured flowers in his lap, and the face of the girl that deserved to wear this nature’s crown. Did she even live? Months had passed and their paths had not crossed again.
Eyes only rose from the flowers once to investigate the change in her face as she reacted to his warning. Confusion, was it? Had she not yet realized the monsters she lived amongst. Or perhaps he was just terrible at reading others. Itachi guessed he should suspect the latter. But, in some ways he thought she seemed a little like a songbird he once had known, dressed in silver. Innocently, she asked what he meant. Innocently. It made his thoughts sharpen again.
If she didn’t understand, then she didn’t understand. So very simple. She’d watched as the slave had lost his tongue in a spray of blood. If she didn’t see something wrong with her hoe, then perhaps she belonged here regardless of her soft seeming nature. ”Nothing,” he replied, taking his eyes off her as he watched the finished work resting in his hands. This unbranded Lykoi didn’t believe in such a thing as innocence anyway. Demons existed everywhere. He should know.
Elegantly, he rose from his seated position, and there was a pleasant pain in his legs as muscles got to stretch and the blood circulation could run more freely. He took a step closer to the girl and gently planted the floral crown on top of her head, noting with vague satisfaction that it fitted her head well enough. His princess wasn’t here, and for all he knew, she never would be. He hoped not. ”Take care, Magnolia,” he said, allowing these words to be what parted them. There was still much to see before shadows grew long and swallowed the day.
