Searching for Trust || Henry & Guew
@thebloomingrosefamily
Silence. Henry glanced about, his wits, his strength, nearly everything failing him until he remember that pretending could get him through plenty. He placed his hand on the tree beside him, looking down as he slouched, his tall figure seeming small as his floppy ears drooped. He was tired, definitely, but also… unsure. Why?
“Ah, that’s right…” There were a lot of things the man didn’t really have control of, things he wanted to prevent.
His mood shifted. Pretend, pretend, he straightened himself out, standing back up fully and smiling. “Can’t let myself get caught up in these things.” He ran his hands through his soft-orange hair, covering his ears once more and steadily breathed.
“Life doesn’t wait, really.” He gave a small confirmation to himself and walked as tall as possible. He still kept many secrets, ones that he wouldn’t let go for just anyone, ones he couldn’t even let those closest to him hear. It was a matter of trust, and someone like him couldn’t actually be... trusted, right?
