A Gosh Darned While

Ah- yup, that scolding was definitely a Sparrow thing to do. Ashmedai grit his teeth and waited till she was finished. He tried not to lash out at her. As much as he wanted to tell her she was wrong and that not everything was about her, she was kind of right and Ash had to give her some credit.

When she was done, Ashmedai looked at her, his icy eyes serious.

"Sparrow- my dad went crazy and ran off, I went after him, and my mother died shortly after. It wasn't exactly a stroll through the woods for me either, but it happened, and I came back to apologize."

A loose, fake smile fell on his lips. Nervous. He was nervous.

"Take it or leave it, but I figured I'd give you the option."
