What's the best route to follow?
It's like I was in a 'Choose Your Story' game where we have to pick between options A and B for the game to continue. It felt exactly like that.
One route leads to the desired procession, the right path, the happy ending. And the other option… It could ruin everything.
Carefully, I contemplated my choices, Sven's eager eyes distracting me every moment or so. Finally, I decided to tell him the truth, well... the half truth.
"You were right about me being an only child," I nodded. "I'm also Reynard's good accompli- I mean, friend! And well...I guess calling me a person who's got nowhere to stay is right."
He nodded, the eager shine disappearing from his eyes. Just when I thought I had played it safe, he said:
"It's alright if you don't want to tell me now," he muttered, looking straight into my emerald eyes. "After all, I've lived here most of my life. I'm bound to be curious."
