There's more to find
She seemed to be pondering his words. Would she believe him? He hadn't entirely lied...okay, well maybe mostly lied. His goal was to gain her trust, get her to follow him, and at the end of the trail bring her to his father, if he ever found him. But he knew he was getting close, he could feel it in his bones. His gaze was fixated on her, eyes hiding the hunger for her answer. He waited impatiently, though that wouldn't show one bit as he was a master of disguise.
Finally, she'd speak! She would agree with him, that having a companion was better. A brow would then raise as she seemed to assume that he felt lonely. Not at all. In fact, it was quite the opposite. But acting it was all a part of his act, obviously it was successful. "My family got separated." The answer was short, curt. "I was born late Spring, if that answers your curiosity." He wasn't entirely impolite, but somewhere between that and polite. He inwardly sighed as she asked his name, giving him hers. Then looked at him almost expectantly. Well, there was no harm in at least that. "My name is En--Hm...Call me "N" dear." He waited to see if she would contest that, though he didn't care if she did or not. "If it satiates your curiosity, my surname is Armada, I'm two years old, and yes...I suppose I am a bit lonely." All a part of his little game. |
