my nine to five is cutting open old scars
The slate hued boy settled beside her in the water, seemingly unbothered by the fact that he would be soaked too. She watched his expression with tiny glances and furtive flicks of her mismatched gaze into their reflections in the spring. He listened quietly, keeping what opinions he might have formed so far to himself. When she was finally finished, he offered an answer to her distraught query. She smiled softly, sadly. "Thanks Bacc." She murmured, leaning her shoulder against his and sighing heavily. She was tired of talking now, it was just too much to say more after all that had come off her chest. A cold mask fell over her features, eyes going distant as she thought to herself about this and that. If Bacc wanted to talk, she would listen. Right now, she just needed a few minutes to get her head together and sort everything out. Cheek would come to press itself gently against the thick fur of her friend's shoulder, staring blankly at a place just past their reflections. Eyes would narrow as she puzzled it all out in her head, sorted her thoughts into things that made sense and just random gibberish. Everything was so confusing, and she didn't want to think about her family anymore. Except for one particular wolf. "D'you think I should go look for my sister when winter's over?" She asked quietly, finally snapping out of her stupor. Milli was supposed to still be in Arc, and it might do her some good to come and stay with Abby. Maybe she could also go back to the black beach, and see her old home. Closure might be nice. A small smile pulled relentlessly at the corners of her mouth. "We could have an adventure, if you wanted to come." She exclaimed, tips of her teeth poking out from under her inky lips. "You could show me the Northern place, where you grew up, and I could take you to my black beach!" She gasped, cranium turning so she could look upon the features of her best friend. That would be cool, and maybe it would be a good break from the monotony of her life right now. Yeah, it would be awesome! |
