His eyes were all too familiar to her but that was where the familiarity ended. The man avoided looking directly at the little dragon, clearly waiting for the interaction to end.
“Can’t go back or don’t want to?” Thing knew she was prying but there was also a part of her that felt it was her business to know. If she was right, he owed that much.
He flashed her a look of annoyance.
“Sorry,” Thing muttered, “I shouldn’t have said that.” She was getting irritated herself. There was much she wanted to say but she knew was not her place. I’ve hardly known you a couple days, yet you don’t realize what I already know about you.
The two sat in awkward silence as the town life went on around them. The man fiddled with his shirt sleeve. “Even if there’s a want to go back, I think by this point it’s impossible to.”
Thing tipped her head at him, “You seem pretty confident that it’s impossible…”
He stood. “I don’t know how to explain it to you, I don’t even know WHY I’ve said this much to you. You ask a lot of questions.”
Thing flicked her wings as she stood too, “Please wait. Will you be here tomorrow?”
“I don’t know.”
“Please be here. I need to do something, and I need you here.”
He looked confused, “Why would you need me?”
“Because you’re wrong about it being impossible and you NEED to go back.” Thing turned and darted off.
