“You do,” I assured him quite calmly. “That is why I am here.”465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNnOK9RKqd
“How are you acquainted with any of them?” He asked quite seriously, and only465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIX9K4d6gL
then did his eyes seem to notice my hair, which was blue all over except for its still465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWou6o3SE0
black tips. “You’re quite the odd one.” He admitted, while he was far from what anyone465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHeWKpGM3F
would deem as ´normal´. “And I do not need my bigger glasses to see that.”465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkLDP0e3wV
“Here. This is for you,” I tried to hand him my big notebook, the one that had been465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2kyflODOV
resting safely beside me. Almost falling out of it was a whole compendium of drawings465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQsSR3SR9c
and other poorly attached notes. “Father wanted you to have it.” I nudged it towards465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHt7kvt5Ay
him. “He also wanted me to go with you.”465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgc11zKeMJ
“Father, you say?” He cautiously asked as he refused the offer, “I am afraid I will have465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0ktyuQu6H
to doubt that. You see little one, I am not one with many friends, let alone associates.”465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrir13tWiJW
He then took a few steps back “No, you must be mistaken. But fret not, you may465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1BrcuBr1i
accompany me back to my place, if you so wish of course. After all, it is not proper to465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPs3cOFNZU
leave one so small and meek behind, especially in a place like this. Old Gorliochi over465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7409OgdGS1
there,” His eyes went straight towards that beast; this one was completely relaxed even465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncFpm8snIP
if its jaws kept finding one thing or another to chew on, “he can easily carry the both465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4hzWJighs
of us for as long as necessary. He has been with me for many seasons now, lending a465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqGqzyRs07
hand in the carrying of all sorts of things.”465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6OebRAbLm
He smiled, but it was a ruse that could not hope to work on the likes of one such as465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8YtYw99FV
me. “Like all sorts of flowers and fungi that I so often like to come and find in these465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCeTe7sntO
parts... Or even -”465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNDIhvtMoL
“You are no mere flower picker or mushroom gatherer.” I said as I kept forcing that465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptP5sA9DDs
notebook onto him. “Go on, take it. You are the Thinker-Tinker, and you are meant465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymBEOV8Slu
to read it.”465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8Xbb1e5xE
A short silence stood between the two of us ...465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX30vza8p05
“Your father, who is he then?” He eventually asked, even if his interests appeared465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlEacY2WQp
to be dwindling the more he was going through those notes and drawings, “I know465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo9dxROfI3
many of the names inscribed here.” He kept confessing, as he tipped his glasses just465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhUZjvVed1
in time to prevent them from falling off his curved nose; and then he looked at me465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOP5g4qeFI
with refulgent eyes: “Some of these people, they are in these drawings of yours as well!465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgJgZxaETX
And this man here; a Kharn. He is my friend. A dear one.”465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOirkBuj1rE
“That is Father,” I said to his amazement ...465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzul7H1MZKa
A long pause took over his person.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX7NeQmSZI
Many of his past fears but also promises came to haunt him, and without a465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3fx81MrVQ
moment’s notice, his head became occupied with all sorts of questions and possibilities.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK1P08rSt1
There were so many ´If ’s´ and ´Buts´ and ´What’s´ swirling in his mind - and in465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOFYOebfql
the end all I heard him think to himself was: “This is likely to bring me quite the465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywnBjU87e9
unwanted trouble, but if there is any chance of truth to it, at all; of a real connection465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC8eMNVd30
between this little one and that ol’ fool... What choice do I have?”465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxVOLpkn2E
“Who are you girl?” his eyes swelled up as he confronted me again, “and how did465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvcDxdRCOf
you get your hands on all this?”465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RRYNzfj7W
“As I said, all of it was wrought by my hand.”465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv20DWiRBk
“You wrote...” His eyes travelled between note and drawing alike “all this?465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr1mimnDEq
What made you do such a thing?” He asked with his eyes now trembling with465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3X97I4m8R
restlessness.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmQa092ROb
“And then you will read it?”465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53a3jRCq43
“Oh, I most definitely will. The spark of curiosity has already been lit inside me.”465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLYYLyoGm8
He then reassured me further, “My interest has already peaked way past the point of465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR8lkNhkdo
arousal, don’t you worry.” And after he weighed all of it with both hands; “But I will465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm6fipUTt7
have to do so back at my place. You understand that this is quite a lot to go through?”465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4Y6ABe1LZ
“Quite,” I replied after I added a few extra notes I had on my person.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj5j05xKjc
“Besides, I don’t have my reading glasses on me.” He added somewhat flippantly465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelCEQXOWmw
“I mean why would I bring them; you know? It’s not like I get to meet little girls465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9jrUYg27X
carrying tomes for me regularly.”465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNf7B0NhWe
I nodded in concordance, and then he suggested we should make haste. Insisting, as465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3m2bePbaU
we made our way to that beast, that I should tell him, or rather prepare him, for what465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRGXC8j4O8
could be in store inside that notebook.465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y1Tq5smbl
