Little Moments

Dayton still felt that inexplicable calm washing over him as he waited for Crucifix to respond. He, too, seemed a bit at a loss. How could this boy forgive his father so quickly? It was a mystery to the boy himself, not to mention those around him. But that was how it would be. He wasn't angry. Everything was fine. He would leave the nightmares of the past behind him. The russet male shifted his feet a bit in the silence, feeling the strange movement of the silken sand. He felt a yawn expanding at the back of his throat as the conversation tumbled to a stop. Then his companion spoke again. What Crucifix said was very similar to the blessings Dayton had given him earlier. He complimented him first, telling the boy what a good person he was, and then remarked on the happy future that was to come. The small male let a gentle smile touch his lips. "Thank you, sir,"he responded kindly, ignoring the request to call him Crucifix just this one time. ."I know the same good fortune will come to you and your family from now on." Their thoughts at that moment were also very similar, though neither knew of it at the time. Dayton couldn't help but think about what a strange and wonderful meeting this had been. He knew this would not be their final goodbye - he had already taken a liking to Crucifix, and though his scent was that of a rogue, the boy was sure he could be tracked down again. Then they would have another conversation. Someday. For now, he lifted his fragile body from the sand, shaking his fur clean as he nodded at the darker boy. ."It's late. I hope you don't mind if I take my leave. Misha will be wondering where I have been." The russet male smiled again, his formal speech falling away."It was great talking to you. I haven't had company like this for a long time, and I enjoyed it. Thank you, Crucifix, and it was great meeting you. I'm confident that we will meet again soon." As the last phrase entered the air, Dayton picked up his shell and nodded once more to his new friend. Then he began walking across the cold black sand, turning his path back toward Tortuga. -EXIT DAYTON- |
