Her words lingered for a moment, the story floating between them before he answered her questions. None of it seemed to phase the male, and for that Anu was grateful. At times she wondered what another might think, when she spoke of her lover. It was different, and most times the world was frightened of those things that were different. Anu felt at ease with his lack of response, assuming (and happily so) that he put the pieces together. She would not have told him if she did not trust him, noting silently that perhaps the world was ready and whiling to accept every bit of her, even the different parts.
Yet, again she strolled right into a place that was dark for the male. She watched as he grew tense, thoughts of his past mate no doubt filtering into his thoughts. The good, making him wish for her again, and the bad that made him hope she was as unhappy as he looked at that second. Anu shot out into the dark once again and missed horridly, "Oh" was all she could manage. Again she felt as if her words were the wrong to say, and that he was brought into a more sorrowful place. Her mouth closed, eyes glancing out into the forest that surrounded them and that she called home. Her courage brought her nothing, fearing that she would upset him further.
