a life without

Absently he waved a paw across the water's surface purposefully marring his reflection. He turned to walk away and was confronted by the sight of a woman whose approach had escaped his notice. Her eyes were on him and soon she spoke. While he remained unfazed her armor, the pairing of it with her words did not go unnoticed. He had reached a point of bitterness where fear eluded him, however, and all he could offer in response was grim acceptance. "It's not?" Aku glanced around and took stock of the idyllic scene. "Does the field eat them?" His eyes fell on the flowers at his feet. He motioned to one casually. "Or the flowers, maybe? Thieving away freedoms and the like...as flowers do."

He was being flippant, yes, but he couldn't bring himself to give the situation the care it deserved. Whether or not she was trying to warn him about actual dangers or hinting that she was the danger didn't matter to him. He just wanted to... Well, actually, he didn't know what he wanted, truthfully. To be rude to a stranger? To goad a fight? To be left alone? To..what exactly? He didn't know. All he really knew was that he had nowhere to go and no reason to play along.
