Chapter 67

I may have agreed to give him one hour, perhaps thinking and almost convinced that this human would get bored in no time and leave me be eventually, and dreaded the fact that my already packed day has been just added another compromise, only that, in no moment whatsoever did I agree to give him attention in this hour we would spend together.

And he soon enough came to realize just how full of flaws the terms of his agreement were when for the next week I simply picked up my book, sat on the stone, and read the entire hour we were bound to stay together by my own word only to leave as silently as I have come.

So while the birds chirped, the wind howled and the leaves flustered, I ignored his words and studied and meditated like I used to do when he wasn't there, only dreading the fact that I could not train my wings for a while, at least until my search for a new hidden place bear fruit or this human gave up bothering me.
