Three points where two lines meet

Dead? "I hope not as well," he replied to her first statement as he took a couple of steps toward her. He couldn't explain this feeling he had as he moved. The ground didn't feel as solid, almost like the nerves in his paws weren't all quite awake. Slowly his mind was catching up, but it was all still hard to grasp. Suddenly it hit him that if she was asking him if he was dead then... she must be as well? She confirmed this when she spoke of never getting to tell him something before she passed. Before he could ask what it was she broke out with the information, as nonchalant as if she was telling him it was raining. Daddy?! He stared at her, completely silent and dumbfounded. He remembered Serefina well enough, their one encounter on the volcano had gone well he thought. But, if he was being honest with himself, he hadn't thought of her again since then. That wasn't unusual for him. He didn't often get attached to women he had a little fling with. Mercy was a very rare exception. And now here she was, apparently dead and telling him he had two yearlings running around out there in the world somewhere. He hoped that she could understand why he was a bit sceptical about it all and more than a little dumbstruck. "What happened? I mean... how did you die?" That was easier to think about than the fact that he had kids... Kids that he had never seen or known. Kids that he may never know. |
