Disclaimer: Tamora Pierce owns all that you recognize. If I did own Daine, Numair and Cloud then there would be about seventeen series on them.
A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed. I'm sorry that I never updated when I said I would. I've been reading the DC comics which have taken over my Tamora Pierce obsession. I felt like doing something to make me fee accomplished so I thought I should try and continue with Daine. At first I found it hard, I haven't had any connection with Tamora Pierce in a month or two. However, I got hold of some prompts and came up with this. It's shorter than my other two and in first person.
It aggravates me sometimes. He sits here, cross-legged, weary eyed with a mountain of research beside him. He's oblivious to my boredom, his mind set on one thing. But if this is boredom then why am I transfixed by his eyes darting backwards, eager to obtain the information in as little time as possible. I enjoy the sound as he turns over the page. It is crisp and sharp like the autumn leaves outside.
I don't know why I still watch him. I have been here for hours without him once acknowledging my presence. But I don't mind. Numair is the closest to family that I've got besides Cloud of course. He's the only one who can fully understand me and the only one who treasures and values my opinions. So even if, he does not greet my eyes with his, I know that he accepts and appreciates me.
A/N: I normally hate my own writing but I felt quite proud of this. It did not make much sense but I felt that I should share it. So now that I have shared it, review! I'd like to know whether my writing has improved or not because it's been a while since I last posted and I've been influenced by lots of great fics. Anyway, I'll stop rambling and let you review.
