sometimes quiet is violent

Clouse had to admire how collected and reassuring Avella was, and a large part of him wanted to relax and trust in her presence. Those anxious thoughts about messing everything up caused him to hold back and remain alert instead, making sure he did not step on toes or nerves. Still, it made him feel better overall to hear her say that he'd sort it out one day. He wanted to believe her. Something more than the Dell or the Lore, a place the boy had never been but heard plenty about, especially Willow Ridge and Whisper Caverns. They were on the same page then, and it also was a relief to know that Scully was right there with him. Around Clouse, the guy always acted like he had everything under control and planned out. But they were all just winging it, huh? Still, it caused a very specific question to begin eating at him: what if there simply wasn't more? "What's Winter like? What do we need to prepare for?" Clouse asked instead. |
