LET'S SEE HOW FAR WE GO
The silence was clung to by the boy. He couldn?t find himself desiring much else, but that wasn?t entirely too surprising. Crucible was a man of little action and fewer words. Even as the sky faded to black and exhaustion didn?t come (noting that at the end of the day he should be tired) he felt annoyed. The gentle crash of waves against the blackened shore was refreshing and soothing and the thoughts of his inadequacy seemed to flee far from his mind. He would be able to make up for lost time. This, however, was something he knew that, once he left, he would not see for quite some time. So, he enjoyed it as thoroughly as he could. Now, though, he was not alone.
She walked across the sand. Her paws fell lightly and made little noise. She wouldn?t have been detected by someone who was louder than he. It wasn?t too impressive, of course, regardless he watched from a distance. She didn?t intrude on him, and so perhaps she sought out solitude. He...did in a way. Speaking to others was not his forte and he did not see the joy in breaking the silence. Still, it was unbeknownst to him that his golden eyes lingered on her for many long moments. He hadn?t realized that she was able to sit and move and do so much before him, because his thoughts were not on what he saw, but on what he made of it. Curious indeed.
Another moment passed and he fell back to reality. He had been staring at her for a long moment with eyes that seemed to wonder what would happen next. His reaction was lacking and given his immediacy for silence, and the figure that she was here for the same, he only needed to relieve himself of the delusion that he had noticed his forlorn gaze. Surely it had been avoided, no?
