Wow.
Idrial had the same thoughts of that line that he did. But would be tell her this? He sighed and then smiled just a little more. "...That\'s exactly what I thought of it."
He closed the book over now, staring down at his hands. He didn\'t know why she was still talking to him, but it was nice in a way.
"...Why are you still talking to me?" Well, there. It was out. He\'d asked her. Now she could give him the answer and then it would be done with. He was glad to have met someone who had also read The Passion of Life, but he really just wanted to be alone now.
He wasn\'t used to being around others. He was used to being on his own. He just hoped that last question hadn\'t come off as annoyed or angry, he just wanted to be alone. Maybe Idrial would get the hint and go? Not that he wanted her to leave and never talk to him again, he just didn\'t want to talk to anyone at the moment.
Being on his own was what he was used to. And that was all there was to it.
