If he was being honest with himself, he didn't have the faintest clue why he was here. He'd just heard the call, and he'd headed toward it. The worse case scenario was that he wouldn't want to stay here, and he would leave. Mithras didn't strike him as the type to chase down deserters, and truthfully he thought he might be happier with Steel gone. Stony, silent Steel. He felt nearly invisible, save for a smile that came from Faria as she joined the group. He returned the silent greeting with a pitiful nod of his own. The others were all but strangers, and his hard gaze would sweep over the group quietly as Mithras began speaking. His ideas for Argead did not sound awful - but he admittedly retracted at the talk of helping one another and contributing. He didn't know how to do that. He knew how to survive, and anything else was just a bonus. He swore he felt himself visibly wilt at Faria's heartfelt agreement to be there for Mithras. But someone else caught his eye; a woman that had come to sit beside him, someone he'd met some time ago, but had not forgotten. Briefly, subtly, something in his gaze changed - a glimmer of hope, perhaps, in the darkness of his crimson stare as he managed to barely smile. "Sure, I'll join," he said half-heartedly, loud enough for Mithras to hear before the howling began, and before he fell into an even deeper silence than he thought possible. |
