It was funny how they were both so confused, so hesitant and wary to embrace one another. Kangi thought Talon might be angry with her, but he had no room in his heart for anger. He never felt very irritated at anything. Sadness was common with him though, but he was beginning to feel numb more often then not. But he felt a great surge of emotion now, standing before Kangi, and he decided he would rather feel sad with her than be alone and feel nothing at all. His eyes continued to well with tears, and as hard as he tried to keep them from falling, they seemed to have their own will. He wanted to turn and mask his tears, but he didn't want to look away from her. It felt as though she might disappear if he did, and he couldn't imagine that. "She has been gone for awhile..." He had noted the slight jealousy that Kangi had displayed for Euphrosyne, but he'd deduced that maybe she was just envious that he had a mother figure. He hadn't understood that it was something else entirely. "I've... been looking for you for a long time." He hoped it didn't sound crazy or pathetic, but he didn't know what else to do all this time. He didn't want to find his parents or his siblings. They had hurt him terribly, and while he missed them, it would only be more painful to find them again. He was impressed with how fluent she was in English now, and he was taken back to the moment they met. She'd hardly been able to communicate with him at all, but he was happy and proud that she had learned. A soft whine left his lips as she leaned forward to nuzzle him. She felt like home -- the closest thing he'd ever had to a home -- and he pressed back into her, maintaining his balance against her. "I'm glad too," he managed to let out between a soft sob, which he tried to stifle in the fur of her neck. Why did he always cry when he saw her again? He was happy, not sad... and yet he couldn't stop himself from crying. It made him feel like a child, but he couldn't help himself. "I really missed you, Kangi. You're all I have. It wasn't bad there, but it wasn't the same without you." |
