Subject: ...And their entrances...
In reply to: Maria 's message, "Hatred is Thicker than Blood Or is it?" on 15:33:13 04/10/05 Sun

When Maria moved nearer to him and leaned on him, S’peer exhaled in relief – without realising that he had been holding his breath. It felt so good that she was trusting him enough to get physically closer to him, after what he had told her. Part of him still couldn’t believe she was being like this – he had expected her to run away in fear or anger when she discovered what he had done four years ago. But now she actually seemed to believe that he wouldn’t hurt her. It made him feel amazingly vindicated.

Without thinking, S’peer slipped an arm around her waist – both to support her body as she leaned against him, and because it was what he would have done in any other circumstances. But he didn’t make any attempt to pull her closer, or even put any pressure on the arm that encircled her. He just let it rest there – his own assurance that he would support her, if she wanted him to.

S’peer, I don’t think Myth trusts you.

‘Did you think he would?’ The rider replied, a touch of humour creeping into his weary tone.

Scarth would never lower himself by laughing, but S’peer could feel a chuckle. True, true. But seriously S’peer, he only thinks the worst.

‘He has every right to. Is he trying to persuade her to leave?’

He is indeed. I gave up trying to make you do things a long time ago, you know. Another gentle chuckle accompanied this, and Scarth withdrew from his rider’s thoughts.

“I know Myth doesn’t trust me, Maria. You can leave if you want to…”Or if you know that he will make your life a misery if you stay…

((I know how you feel! Don't worry about it! S'peer does that to me as well...))
