at least, it sounded like him

[Arkham Lykoi]

His body relaxed when his father could only look at him sadly, but it wasn't by a lot. His voice was quiet and ... just sad. It was possibly the most depressing voice he had ever heard anyone use and he just felt bad for the man, no matter that he couldn't begin to understand what was wrong. It was one of those things he was beginning to realize there just wasn't an easy answer to, if there was an answer at all. So many of the things he wanted to know the most seemed to fall into that category. But it scared him in a way -- to know that events in life could force a person into such a sad state, to know that things could happen to drive a man crazy and split his mind in two, because that was how it had been explained to him. It was as real as monsters got, he supposed.



Are you really dangerous? he wondered in the same small voice, still not moving a step closer. Gabriel and Faolin and Ahren all say that you wouldn't hurt her, b-but... will you? Arkham didn't know if it would help him to know what his father thought. If the man told him that he didn't think so either, then would he believe him? What did his word mean to him?
