Aftermath

Walk | Talk | Think

Despite her taking his compliment oddly, Klypso hardly seemed put off by it, or by her for that matter. It was strange and made absolutely no sense to her. She was nothing to him but someone he had happened to pass by randomly through this location; they had not even known each others' names. And yet here he was going out of his way to be nice to her - to feed her - and win over her trust. Yin was stubborn. Twice already it had happened that those she trusted left her, and twice had been more than enough. When one was your own blood how could you trust anyone? But he seemed so sure he could change her mind, so sure he could and would prove her wrong. The fool.

He remarked briefly that though her eyes were only eyes they were still special, and that each of them had something about them that made them stand out, some trait that was considered beautiful. Yin acted as if she paid no attention, continuing to eat even before he had assured her the fish was hers. Everyone was special. It sounded like a lie. How could everyone be special? If everyone was special then why did they not all receive the special treatment they deserved, whatever it should have been or them?

She licked her lips as she finished the fish, taking a paw and pushing it aside as she noted the male wolf staring skyward toward the sun, seemingly lost in thought. A random comment about it was made, another remark about beauty, with the sky tied in as well. Following the wolf's gaze she supposed the skies and the sunlight to be pretty, at least sometimes. She had never been one for standing pointlessly around and just watching the world around her though. Another compliment followed, and though she was no less prepared for it her reaction was more promising. "You sound like my brother," she answered softly, just a little bit of tenderness entering her voice for the sibling she used to be so close to. "He thought everything was beautiful too."
