Mati wasn’t one for telling all her little secrets. But she wasn’t so much afraid of letting someone in or that they would know her more then she might feel comfortable. She didn’t want to remember. She would rather forget those things that had happened, the things of the white collared male, the things he had tried to do to her and how she had just narrowly refused. She wanted to know him, as she wanted to know everyone. But only if that information was willing given. Knowing that another wanted to open up to her was just as valuable as the information given.
All the way up there? She smiled, closed mouth as she looked to the ground she walked on while she listened. He wanted to go to the lands of ice and snow, when worlds awaited him and his ship. Places that held cultures and creatures that were so unknown that they did everything backwards and walked on their hands (or she imagined). And he wanted to go north. She wasn’t critical, but found that he was letting her into who he was even if he didn’t want her to know. She wandered if he wished to be alone, and his response to her question made her think that he did indeed wish for some sort of solitude.
The lands of ice and snow, winter that never ended, was lonely. Dark for days, and with no trees for shelter and the ground too hard to borrow in. He was alone here, but surrounded by different creatures, up there he would be alone for real. “I feel like there are a few souls out there that would like a charter to the north.” If he had no friends, then he could always sell the seats on his vessel. The city neared, though all Mati truly noticed was the change from soft forest floor to broken concrete. She remained silent for a moment, eyes on the path. “We have snow here you know.” Her eyes returned to the fire that permanently raged inside his eyes. Burning orbs alone wouldn’t keep him warm in the nights of endless winter. She wondered if he knew that. A playful smirk came to her face as she finished speaking, the words were just incase he didn’t know. Though she was sure he did.
