Why does he look like this?
P:”You didn’t answer.”
R:”…”
He pushes me against a tree.
He doesn’t muffle me…
He doesn’t move.
P:”What else?”
R:”Just a moment.”
He must have heard something.
With all the noises in here…
P:”Why?”
R:”Be patient.”
P:”Must be a Bird.”
R:”…”
He removes his hands from me.
P:”What are you doing?”
R:”Come.
We must reach the objective by this week’s end.”
P:”What’s the objective?”
R:”Didn’t you hear?”
P:”Didn’t get it.”
R:”Why not ask earlier?”
P:”I did.”
R:”Oh…”
P:”Why?”
R:”Why?”
P:”What’s happening?”
R:”We’re walking.”
There’s something else.
No point in asking.
P:”These little creatures.
What are they?”
R:”Monkeys.”
P:”That’s a monkey?”
R:”Could be.”
He’s looking at the skies.
There are only birds above us.
P:”We didn’t get assaulted.”
R:”We did not.”
P:”How comes?”
R:”You’ve been made an offering.
Haven’t you?”
P:”An offering?”
R:”This piece of flesh.”
P:”Then…
They won’t attack us.”
R:”Actually we’re walking toward them.”
P:”That’s the Settlement she mentioned.”
R:”It is.”
P:”There aren’t predators.”
R:”Not today.”
P:”Are they staying away from Humans?”
R:”What do you think?”
P:”There’s a case for that.
But that’s only true if they’re threatened.
And they are, only if they are small or outnumbered.
Actually if they are outnumbered.”
R:”Indeed.”
P:”Are there any known predators in these parts?”
R:”Of course.”
P:”What are they?”
R:”They’re mostly nocturnal.”
P:”Night ends up coming.”
R:”There are some potential threats.
We’ll elude them.”
P:”…”
R:”They are guiding us.
Animals shouldn’t trouble you.”
He lets me speak.
And he’ll let me.
As long as it isn’t related to what concerns him.
