SWAYING TO THE RHYTHM
OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER
cakeExperience? Bane had never been blinded in a literal sense, but he knew those who had been who had continued to live, perhaps because they were less tied down to material things than Iskata Sadira seemed to be. She seemed bitter, and he felt it radiating off her. Experience was a moot point here. "I say that out of truth." An honest reply: he meant what he said. If she listened and followed those senses that still worked, she would find her reasons. If she opened the eyes she still had, she'd know what her reasons were. They all had their reasons.
cakeAs for what he was looking for, that subject was a little more difficult to broach. Not simply because there were things he would rather keep to himself, but because he frequently wondered that question himself. A million times he had written it down, a million excuses and reasons he had come up with, a million pages he had burned in the fire. All his life, Bane hadn't had a purpose. Now he was marooned in a place that felt alien to him, chasing ghosts to explain the past. "Peace of mind." The dark wolf told the blind lady, staring quietly straight ahead into the darkness. He spoke quietly, giving her about as truthful a reply as possible. When she asked her next question, he smiled and looked down at her, his eyes and his head a thousand miles away. "Sometimes I doubt any of us will come any closer to what we're looking for, Miss Sadira."
