There's no surprise. Not in their gaze and not in their look and not in their SOUL. There's no hollow pang of the other shoe dropping. They know exactly - they expected this. Because this is what he does. When they offer a hand, he doesn't...
He says he wants to.
"I thought after the last time this happened," they say softly, "you'd know better."
Didn't they lead him out from that dark without a word, without asking anything? Didn't push, didn't scrape, didn't pry. Didn't try to tear those answers from his marrow, the way they tried to lever the answers from everything else. Wasn't greedy. Didn't take. They did the right thing. He even said they did okay, and everything.
He always says it.
Has there ever been a day when his actions and his words have really, truly aligned?
