He had the simplest answers for everything. They didn’t satisfy her vast curiosity completely, but she was learning to be content with them. It was also an exercise in patience; there was no rushing him into an explanation. And he certainly wasn’t one for details. She found that in the answer to her latest question, it was far from filling.
Mait wasn’t even entirely sure what he meant by it. She understood that they hadn’t met, but where was he hearing rumor about him? She almost became defensive. It was wrong to believe in hearsay, but then she remembered whom they spoke of. It seemed that he was capable of things that she wouldn’t even be able to comprehend. Bad things had a vast definition, but the pup didn’t even want to know that could be part of that explanation. She wasn’t sure if Onus would even tell her.
Maybe he’ll drown. She didn’t mean for it to be a morbid thought, though it came out as one. She only thought that maybe he would fall victim to something greater then his on evil. It was the only way to express her need for him to be gone from her life, at least while she was so fearful of him. Eyes looked out onto the lakes calm surface once again. Her face was as calm and quiet as the water. Maybe she didn’t need to fear him, at least not when Onus was around.
