It was faint but I felt it. As he spoke, his voice wavered due to an emotion that left me bewildered. Why he would be plagued by this particular emotion was confusing. I understood that he felt indebted to the creature I embodied but... why guilt?? He couldn't maintain eye contact for long and as he paced, telling his story he only glanced at me. He was too humble to be comfortable and though different emotions arose within me as he spoke, the faint presence of guilt diverted my attention as time ticked. I wanted to ask, to know why but it was our first meeting and I didn't think I had the right to meddle so I buried the burning curiosity in consideration of his efforts to hide the weird and confusing emotion. His eyes narrowed in confusion as he tried to process my earlier announcement.
