Bab 214: Finding a way

Both Skender and the destroyer weren't sure where they were going. They had escaped their grandmother and kept looking behind their backs in fear she would find them again. They had a hard time finding their way back. 

"Maybe you are not ready to go back yet." The destroyer said. 

"And who do I have to blame?" 

"You can't blame yourself." The destroyer decided to be the teaser this time. 

He had told him what happened between him and Roxana as they walked in circles. Skender wasn't sure how he felt about the mess the destroyer made. He couldn't be angry about progress. He had expected worse to await him. 

The way the destroyer behaved also made him thoughtful. He knew he would come looking for him but he didn't expect the self-restraint and patience he had shown. He was beginning to put some pieces together. 

"You said, you can't love her. Are you sure?" Skender asked.
