Day 333
Late Afternoon
I did what my instincts told me to do, I left. Only Lucien knew, it was longer than I expected, but I promised I'd come back and now I have. No more looking over my shoulder and jumping at every strange sound. This actually feels like home now. Things smell the same, but different in some ways. I hope they're for the best. I didn't hear word in any of the towns I passed through but have a better lay of the land now. Didn't run into any crazy god's either. But I did miss home. Funny how after everything, I still think of this place as home now.
Found my clothes exactly where I left them in the woods. A little loose now, but not by much. Better than walking through town naked. Doing that sucked. Of course the first place I head to is Lucien's. I wanna see how he is and how everything else is. Don't want to walk into the tavern and see a crazy goddess holding a knife in her teeth and hanging from the rafters -- She's done it before --. It's been awhile and I think I can talk to her now, I want to know what she did and why.
I wonder how Glass is, Iago too. Hopefully I'll see them soon. She must be getting so big. I wonder if it'll be a pup? She is half one herself. Either way, I bet it'll be cute. Too bad it's granddad is a total ass. The closer to Luciens' I get, the more I smile. The weather has started to warm up a little and he did promise me a walk. Opening the front door quietly, I peek around the corner then slowly walk in. It sounds like he's in with a patient so I silently close the door and take a seat in the waiting room, picking up something to read. Its a kids book of riddles, some of them make me laugh...
Why was the belt arrested?
For holding up the pants.
Why are Teddy Bears never hungry?
Because they are always stuffed.
Covering my mouth to hide my giggle, I turn to the next page.
What is the cannibals’ favorite game?
Swallow the leader
NOT funny when it happened to you.
Scowling just a little, I snort, tossing it on the table and pick up another one. Puzzles and mazes this time. Much better.
After finishing half of the book, I set it back down. Hey, you try running away from people among other things in the dark alley's and woods, and then try these things out and tell me they're not easy. Wonder if I came at a bad time.
Things do smell different. Booze and salty sweat and the sharp acrid scent of antiseptic, or whatever its called. Not like I could expect him to wait around for me forever, life changes and does move on. Like that two ships passing in the night thing. I saw how it had changed in other towns. Neighbors suspecting neighbors, hangings, the smoky scent of burnt skin and charred bone. The suspicious looks I got as the newcomer. Which was my hint to not stick around for very long.
The world is moving on, not in a way that I like. Iago's scent was unmistakable outside too The scent mixed with booze and his usual heavy smelling cigarettes. Sniff again and sneeze, more than tobacco is my guess. Strangely, I'm glad that hasn't changed. I do wonder what has and hope Glass and him are okay. Maybe Lucien doesn't want to see me. Maybe he'd rather forget.
My fingers drum on the arm of the chair and I pause from biting the nails on my free hand. Wow, am I that nervous? Maybe I should just go. I've missed Verti too. The closest thing I've ever had to a best friend and I just up and left her. No wonder I've never really had a friend. Had enough time to think about Verdi too, I don't know what she did or what really happened or why. But I need to know. I thought we were friends too. Just not gonna talk to her in private, fuck that. I wanna go back home. Wonder if there's a way to keep her out unless I invite her in.
I'll come see him later. Slip out of the chair and crouch behind the empty desk. wriggle out of my clothes and shift. Shake out my fur and sneeze. Inside scents sharper now. Not so used to them anymore. Heading to the door, I groan to myself. I forgot to leave it propped open. Damn not having opposable thumbs! Giving the door a disgruntled look, I snort and jump up. Maybe I can wiggle it open with two paws. I've seen cats do it. I just hope I'm not as loud as I seem to be in my own ears.
