SHADOW AND LIGHT (CHIAROSCURO)

AMONGST THE HUMANS

Sir Dustin's eyes widened at the truth that I exposed his ears to. Conflicted, he stood up from my side on the wall and took a moment to think to himself. He walked aimlessly around me which was annoying and somewhat dizzying to watch.

I thought as I watched him stressing, "Where does he get the energy? I'm gasping for air down here and he's busy speed-walking left to right repeatedly!"

He even began scratching his head and rubbing his chin in deep thought as he speed-walked around me.

While moving erratically, Sir Dustin muttered to himself silently, "Poison to humans, life to aura benders... How? Why?"

I could see it all from his body language, he was very intrigued, curious and maybe a bit afraid.

"Is it too much information to handle?" I said, stopping his random erratic movements.

"But sire, that...just doesn't make any sense," he stated with doubt in his eyes.

I sighed for a bit then rubbed my eyes, I felt like telling this truth to someone as dimwitted as Sir Dustin was coming
