Blackfeather Woods We're listenin to "Fast Car"

[b]No one,[/q] Anansi repeated. Someone can be no one. Anansi thought so, anyway, but didn't have the words or vocabulary to explain it to Rowan. One simply had to have no personality of their own in order to be no one, which was more difficult than it sounded. But he didn't know how to explain it, not in words that he knew or words he could say without stumbling over his youthful tongue, so he simply reiterated and hoped the tawny boy would take his word for it.

When the boy asked what was in his paw, Anansi flexed his toes conspicuously against the stone beneath them and said, nothing. Since it was a gift from ena, he wasn't willing to share it. Perhaps he would show it if Rowan warmed him up to the notion, but for the moment, he didn't know the other boy and didn't want to risk losing his precious stone.
