Bronze hadn't expected a good reaction. His brown eyes watched, soft in their gaze as she listened. He had told her, perhaps a bit off-handedly, that he'd had a mate -- but that she had been gone for years. He wouldn't have led her on if he'd thought there would be any chance for Silent to return. But fate happened in strange, unexpected ways. She seemed startled, her muscles tensing as she realized what he said. A soft sigh escaped his lips as her demeanor changed once again. She lifted herself suddenly, her hackles raising. A mixture of anger and sadness, as well as confusion -- all he could do was avert his gaze from her. Her words were bitter, almost said out of spite, and he felt pained for ever leading her on. But had he, really? He had cared for her, unsure of whether his feelings might grow. And they had -- but had immediately been stunted by his love's return. "I am sorry," was all he could mutter before she was out of earshot. Silence overwhelmed him, and he too raised, slipping back into the comfort and darkness of the barn. - exit Bronze - |
