I don't know that any one ever asked me what Necthan asked then. It was... something uncanny, something I didn't well know how to respond to. Was it a trick question? Confused as I was, it could hardly be anything else, but that wasn't his fault, or not entirely, at least.
I smiled back, though, sadly, because I felt a little bit broken, a little bit tired, as if something had been taken from me, though I couldn't have said what exactly.
I started to open my mouth, to say, As you wish, Necthan, but then it downed on me that maybe I did have a choice, now. Now, he was asking.
Maybe that was all I wanted. I didn't really know.
“We can go to the meadow,” I said softly after I'd considered it. “It's – it's alright.”
I knew returning to the gutter would be hard. For peace with him, I was willing to accept it.

I watched her face, did everything I could to read her without actually “reading” her. Eventually I saw a smile come to her face, but it was a bent smile as though it had tried to squeeze it’s way through a wall of millions and millions of other feelings. She then assented and I wondered though if I should follow through for it took not mind reader to see that she was hesitant. I was still baffled by that. When we first met it was all she wanted. Now she doesn’t....
It didn’t matter though for it was past and she was coming with me. I offered her my hand and sighed feeling for a second as though things couldn't’t ever be the same again, and this time, not in a good way.

Slowly I slipped my hand in his, and smiled a little, as if it were the first time our skins touched. For a moment I was quiet, just letting him lead the way. Then again, I was never quiet for long, in life. Continued here.
