What would happen if Newt lost Amenti, he wondered? Would she relinquish her hold on him? But no, he had grown attached to her these last few seasons, and the mere possibility of losing her was somewhat unthinkable to him. And yet -- the memory of his brother, the beast who had abandoned him so thoughtlessly -- hung heavy in his mind. Would his brother return if he left the queen slayer's side? Or would he be more alone than he'd ever been before? Briefly his thoughts did trail off, his gaze once again leaving Irin to follow the spectacle below the ice that never seemed to cease. Perhaps she was right and they were stars, struggling to find their way home. Domovei wondered how it felt to have a place to call home that one longed to return to; he only grew attached to people, never to places. And few people had earned that place in his heart that he reserved mostly for his brother. Irin also offered to help him return home if he so desired; he'd keep that in mind, but he felt it unlikely she would know any better how to get there, especially considering she had no idea where Amenti lived at all. He nodded simply, filing her suggestion away for later use if necessary. Once again his gaze fell upon her, eyes void of much emotion, save curiosity. She was rather amicable, unnerved by his behavior that many called peculiar at times. It was surprising, for he was normally uncomfortable around females. "Amenti is my home," he said finally, though his words sounded detached even as though he tried to force a sense of joy into his speech. He failed utterly, and instead his voice rose in pitch awkwardly, and his tail waved once behind him before tucking between his legs, its typical home. "Amenti is ruled by Newt, my Master." It was said so casually that Irin would likely be confused by his meaning. Most slaves were not content with being such, but he spoke of it as though he had accepted his fate with little effort. Perhaps she would've even know he was saying he was a slave. Surely master had more than one meaning -- most words in his second tongue seemed to. "You are a rogue?" |
