one grand moment is all i ask

Aki let his question go easily, as if it had been nothing more than a whim. Amon was no fool of course, he could see the curiosity kindled in the man's ruby eyes. Still, Aki did not press him and let the notion go as easily as if it were a leaf carried off by the wind. "Another day," Amon agreed, his rumble taking on a warm tone it had not held before. This man continued to fascinate. He was a puzzle which refused to be solved. What was his game? What did he aim to take away from this encounter? After all, Amon could not wrap his head around a soul without motive of some sort. It seemed as unnatural to him as the sun rising in the west.

Aki went on to speak of his family, and Amon listened with rapt attention. His homeland was far from here, that much could be inferred. Why else would the man not return, at least occasionally? He showed age, much older than Amon, but he would not hazard a guess. Was it this that kept him from his kin? There were too many questions, and Amon was not overly fond of questions, particularly those who's answers, albeit asinine in the scale of things, could not be easily inferred.

The fact that these tusks were restricted to Aki and his father only spoke more to genetic fluke than gift of the gods, he decided. "I see. Children can be tricky that way. They never seem to do quite what you want or expect them to," he commented with a wry grin, aware that Aki had so far been far more forthcoming in this discussion that he had. He went on, saying, "My family is large as well, and I'm certain my father will have several new siblings waiting for me, should I ever return. I'm thinking my own children will have a difficult time calling a pup 'Uncle' or 'Aunt' but I'm certain they'll adjust." Then again, he thought, he did not owe this man his thoughts, congenial as he may be. At the moment he was still little more than a stranger, fascinating stranger or not. Amon would give enough to get a bit in return, until he was satisfied.
