It was the fact that she stayed still, or maybe she even leaned in to him a little (Hollow didn't know if it was her or just him) that reassured him of the fact that she wasn't going to be running away. He would take him time though, he knew better now, and even in life he had been taking his time for her, he knew she was worth it. Fingers brushed lightly against the delicate fur on her arm as he sat, squeezing her close to him for a brief moment before allowing his arm to relax against her. "You should wander more.." He nodded slowly, grinning a faint grin at her. Her personality was addictive, something unique and special, so much so that she had easily been able to lock the beast inside of him in a trance. He might have continued had she not moved on, speaking once more on the subject before. Her questions caught him off guard and for a moment his face froze, staring at her as he tried to answer the question in his mind. "That's how he kept us in line.." He stated then, frowning at his own reference to his father. That was the very first thing that came to his mind, the only thing that made sense and screamed at him right off. His father had used it to keep him and Blank in line, it only made sense that it would do the same to others. "It inflicts more pain than death could any day.." His voice was more quiet then, dim. He could clearly remember the nights that Blank had begged to just die, had asked Hollow to kill him even. Some nights, even Hollow felt that way. |
