Blackfeather Woods Earth to Heaven

Already it seemed she had a plan in place, with the rows before him being classified as the experimental group. He was somewhat interested to see how it would go, but didn't dare voice such thoughts. The words were kept to himself, not wishing to come off as holding any degree of fascination towards the idea of a garden. "Oh," came his response, ever so simple. He'd considered asking whether or not she believed she would succeed, but had ultimately decided against doing so. The answer seemed obvious to him. After all, she had to have some level of faith in her skills if she'd bother with attempting such a thing. Asking a question he believed himself to already hold the answer to would get him nowhere. All it would do is toss him into a rut, conversation wise, and leave him at a loss in regards to pushing the conversation onward.

His question was answered, but then another was thrown his way in the very same tone he'd previously used. Immediately, his body stiffened and gaze narrowed slightly. "Because I did," the boy stated. "Why'd this Azul guy tell you anything? Did you give him something in return?" An exasperated huff could be heard, faintly, as it'd slipped into his words. He couldn't fully understand his own reasoning for wishing to know. All he was certain of was that he'd told her some things—not much, of course, but enough that the young Inuit was cautious—and he believed there to be a chance she might have shared such things with another. Had she and her friend laughed together at his expense? Did they meet often? How come he'd never seen, or even smelled, him before?! Several questions, none of which having ever left his mouth. They'd remained within his mind, brewing into something of a storm.

In a matter of seconds, his gaze had snapped back to the larger male. He'd spoken of trusting his daughter, as well as mentioned how he could always speak with her later. Alexander didn't know what to make of his words, or how far he should think into them. So, rather than saying anything more, he gave a stiff nod and watched the other leave before his attention was snapped back to the girl. How many more answers could he get out of her, he wondered.
