'i'm fine...'
the tone was clipped, and he was surprised just how much that hurt him. you are an outsider, he reminded himself with gritted teeth and a clenched jaw. the young ghost lowered his skull and peered at his sister with a hawkish gaze that begged her not to hate him, but he could not form the words to express such things. raleska was quick to follow her statement with the same question to him, and her voice had softened some.
“yeah, fine...” he answered her. then, he felt a wave of regret for having approached her at all. he wondered if it was possible for him to turn and leave without causing some great offense. reason fought against the idea in his mind, urging him to say something else – urging him to build a relationship with her. illidan exhaled a great plume of breath into the chilling winter air.
“listen, i'm...” what? sorry?
the truth was that he did not know what he was, other than lost... other than an outsider to his own family. his brows furrowed over his eyes as he thought to bite his tongue clean off. spare him the humanity and the emotion that he felt clouded his judgment so much. take the words that he could hardly speak anyway and turn him into a mute. surely, that would have been a better existence than the life he lived. “i though about you guys every day,” he finally offered her, unable to make eye contact with the dark girl. this time, his tone was not as cold.
