He did not crowd her, but he showed he was unafraid. He had no fear of his own, not did he fear her. There was a quiet and unassuming confidence that he seemed to possess.<br/><em><br/>I know we cannot tell each other everything, not yet, we must be careful... we have always been careful.</em><br/><br/>Again he paused, why did he say that? He had never met Margaret before, never met a Peg in his life. But he somehow, the words somehow came out and felt right. he knew soon he would go to the Library, he would meditate, he would search his soul and his tie for answers to questions that continued to build inside him.<br/><br/>But what he was certain of, what he knew for sure, was that he was where he was supposed to be. Her side, him standing at it. Never the leader, nor the follower for too long. He walked with her or not at all, it was just the way it was to be. His own animal called to him, knowing that the rest of the pack, Enach and Freddie, would have sensed something about him, something different now that he had been suppressing before.<br/><br/>He was taking his rightful place and he didn't even know it.
