Not a shrug was offered to her sort-of compliment. This individual in particular was immune to scold and praise all the same, except when it took wings from the mouth of the silver winged bird with her summer sky eyes. It seemed they would finish much sooner than he had dared to expect, and the thought of the – hopefully – pleasant surprise on China’s face would mean very much to him. The thought was almost strong enough to allow him a vague smile. Almost.
His uniquely shaded eyes wandered along the lovely stone path that he and Draugr had created, and were only to return to her form once she spoke her question. He supposed was different in both child and adult form, yes. ”Maybe I am, yes,” for he wouldn’t insist upon such a thing. Many thought themselves more splendid than the canines they co-existed with, be it obvious or just a secret thought locked inside their hopeful heads. Itachi had once carried this flaw as well, but he knew that it wasn’t the truth. He could dream of being something greater, but found it much more rewarding to accept himself as he was presently.
The girl had a point, but such words weren’t overall true. There were positive and negative differences. Some were just wrong through and through, and would serve no common good. ”Is that what you believe?” he passively wondered, thinking of the simple mechanics of ants and bees. Free will had a terrible price, and every one of them would feel the terrible sting more than once as they drifted along the currents of time towards the end of their short lives.
