He'd been a fool, but he was done telling himself that. He'd spent far, far too long making excuses for his life. Gerhardt knew it was just his insecure side flaring up, and he wouldn't let that happen again. He knew he was a good man, had done some good things in his life - but he'd also made some mistakes. Among the biggest mistake was leaving her. He'd promised to be there and he'd neglected that promise. He could hear someone coming, light on their paws. Epiphron? Maverick? Could it be? She would saunter into sight, her glorious form looking far more beautiful than it ever had. How could he have ever left such a creature? Head dipped in kindness and respect. She told him it was good to see him, asked him how he was. Ah, the ever kind Loccian. "I'm just fine, Loccian. How are you?" That's what he wanted to know. It looked as if she were doing well, great - even. It also appeared that she'd been busy, active and mobile. This was good. "I wonder if a runaway like me is welcome here anymore?" He would test the waters, get two answers at once. If she made a harsh comment he would know her feelings at once, if she did not he would know that at least she didn't hate him. If she turned him away he would take his cue and be gone - he'd walk away for the last time and never bother them again. Oh, he hoped that wouldn't be the case. speech speech speech |
