His steps continued their normal pace, wide and steady as he was in no real rush, he figured a few feet ahead the dame had gave in to such a request and left him be, it was an easy task getting rid of a stranger, or at least he thought it was. His ears would soon twitch and shift to the pattering of paws once again heading his way. A heavy sigh left his chest and for a moment he let his eyes fall amongst the eager body beside him before shifting to the trees ahead, mindlessly scanning for potential food and or shelter.
There she went again.. talking. Such behavior he wasn’t quite used to, he had told her to leave, usually he didn’t have to say anything, the creatures would already be kicking up snow to get away from him with just a glance and yet.. she was still here. Lonely? She called him lonely, and offered ‘company’.
He didn’t doubt that there was someone out there that desired such ‘company’, however he wasn’t one of them. Even before coming into this new body he was alone, kings were destined to be alone while ruling weren’t they? It was simply fact, they are what held their kingdom together, and they did it by themselves. He wouldn’t call himself lonely, just alone, and he liked it that way.
The little silver sprite seemed to keep pace with him, and for a while he ignored her inquiry, hoping the silence of it all would be answer enough and yet.. she was still there, looking at him. It made him uncomfortable in a way, maybe an answer was all she wanted? Perhaps giving her one would satisfy this need to stay beside him.
“Maybe someone lonely is simply alone.. and wants to stay that way” He huffed, his gaze flickering from the sprite and back up again, hopefully his disinterest would deter her, it always drove his subjects away.
