I just know my eyes glittered in mischief and amusement when she peered up at me real close, her eyes narrowed just slightly in concentration. I almost laugh when she starts to talk and then I realize that, not only is she talking about me, she is also talking a bit about her own. I manage to keep the smile on my face and only when she turns out to look over the ocean does it slip away. I watch her for a quiet moment before I respond. “Or when you’re scared. Sometimes secrets are secrets because you can’t get up the courage to say something to someone else.” I tilted my head slightly to the side. “And maybe a little bit of everything you just said.”
“Maybe when there is someone you like, that gives you those nervous fluttery happy feelings in your belly. But you don’t know how they feel, so you keep yours all locked up.” My lips touch her cheek, my golden eyes on her, studying the way her body moves and the way her face responds to anything I say. I called upon all the years under Father’s watchful eyes. “Or when someone says and does something to you, you are not sure if you like or if you should be doing.”
“Sometimes the hiding of a secret can be more work than just saying the secret out loud.” I sighed softly, taking my own words to heart and soon, soon I would have to feel out Kerberos, just a little to see how it went.
But she shrugs and smiles, turning back to me and I smile softly in return. “You are absolutely right about that. Anyone that makes you feel less than you really are, can go to hell.” I tug lightly on the growing tendrils of her mane, sighing softly as I realized that she was growing and there wasn’t anything I could do about it. “I love you, Kali girl. I just want you to know that.” My lips finding her cheek again as I brush them across her face, my wing tightening around her ever so slightly.
