Moonspear But we're not the same

The words she spoke irritated him, for they weren't at all respectful. She did the same as she blamed him for, in Charon's eyes; demanding respect from him without giving any in return. He rather wished she would make her decision instead of loitering about the frays of his life. He wanted all or nothing, as it was with all things in Charon's life, from this friendship.

"I do think that," he said, his voice tainted with a sharp edge. I could say the same for you, he haughtily thought, but he did not say the words because he knew that it would only make her turn around again. Yet, would she walk out of his life for good were he to do this? Would he at least get his closure instead of being confronted by her over and over again?

When she finished speaking he just stared at her, not sure what to say. What did she want from him? Did she want him to say that she was right, beg for her friendship back? She knew that would never happen. What he wanted was a clean slate, but he was not sure how to achieve it at this point... And in his experience, even clean slates were never truly clean.
