This wasn't something
Fenrir wanted to do.
He knocked on the door of a man he was afraid of and walked in.
|
He didn't really know why
the man frightened him this way; it wasn't just regular fear. It was...
different. Fenrir wasn't afraid he'd jump up and kill him, or that he'd kill
someone he cared about, or that he'd do something to him. No, it was
something entirely else that came from the aura that man gave off.
|
He didn't know how Sebille
could stand it, let alone feel comfortable around it.
"I... really don't really want to be here, but this is something..."
|
"It's something I'd handle
this on my own if I could, and I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important."
|
The man didn't react to
him in any way. Fenrir wasn't even positive he was listening.
|
"I don't know how to say
this with tact so I'm just gonna say it..."
|
"Sebille... she's been
kidnapped." He paused.
"...It's my fault, and I can't get her back on my own."
That sounded like he'd gotten her kidnapped on purpose, didn't it? He was
saying it all wrong.
|
Finally, something that
peaked the tall man's interest. His visible silver eye moved to Fenrir as
the smaller man waited for judgement... or something.
|
But nothing came.
|
He seemed as calm as ever,
which only made Fenrir more nervous. What if he wasn't going to help at all?
What if he was just going to ignore this?
|
"Talk." He spoke in a way
that made Fenrir unable to interpret his intentions. It was a dry tone but
not monotonous.
|
"F-from the beginning?"
He'd help?
|
"Yes."
Seemed like he would, and Fen knew he wasn't doing it for him, it was for
Sebille.
Still, anything to get her back unharmed.
|
"There were two drug
dealers..."
...and he explained it all.
