it is in their nature to rebel. push the limits in their own little ways, bare their teeth when cornered; too much like the wolves that stalked the roads, they’ve heard, but the townsfolk might give their first laugh. not so bold, an inner voice says. beasts and monsters and this is what breaks you down?
the contact is fleeting. eyes meet for a single breath, and then they pass. arm, shoulder, top of the head and then, finally, a point beyond alejandro becomes the focus of florence’s fascination.
“ there are others willing to keep you in their sight, ” florence says, shifting from one foot to the other. his stare is gnawing at their nerves. “ you must suffer greatly, and often. i do not stare. ”
