“ — I didn’t mean it like t’at, Kieran. ”
Sean’s voice is soft as he responds to Kieran’s words, his emerald eyes casting down guiltily before glancing back up at Kieran, taking a deep breath. Sean was well AWARE that he was one that was too often quick to JUDGE outsiders; but after sitting down with Arthur, sharing a heart-to-heart, he’d come to see that it was POINTLESS.
Sean TRUSTED Arthur’s judgement, and Arthur trusted Kieran. Not only trusted him; but considered him a FRIEND. And, well… Sean had WATCHED Kieran for a little while, and noticed little things; such as how DEDICATED Kieran was to taking care of his horse. Sean had realized; Kieran had a heart of GOLD. He was strong, and kind, and Sean had been a real ASS to him.
Well, no more of that. Sean wanted to be more like Arthur- though, he’d never say that out loud- and be more kind to people.
“ — I mean- I just- I was tryin’ to say t’at I ain’t afraid of ya BETRAYIN’ us, Kieran. Not- anymore. I want ya to know t’at I- I TRUST you, Kieran. And… I’m real sorry about t’e way I’ve treated you before. ”
× ——— WHAT AN UNEXPECTED SURPRISE. Internally, Kieran was already preparing for another round of torture. Because Sean seems to be a nice guy, all in all. But he also likes to throw a punch every once in a while. Also at Kieran. But this time, it seems to be quite the opposite. The sudden sincerity, the calm look on the other’s face. It’s a sign of a good start. At least that’s what Kieran thinks.
“ Oh. ” That’s all he has to say for a moment. He’s used to constantly defending himself, it feels weird to actually stay calm this time. But it sure is a moment that makes him happy. A feeling of being welcomed in this family, how nice. “ Thank you, Sean. ” he responds with a smile, still a little nervousness visible on his face. “ I thought you was... , well --whatever, I guess. And don’t feel bad, y’all had a good reason. I ain’t bearin’ grudges. Just wishin’ some of the other fella’s would think like you do. Javier, for example, he ain’t givin’ up on markin’ me as the bad guy. Can’t really blame’em, but still. ”
