Suzerain of Sheol
Desolation Denizen
|
Shealtiel watches Dante's antics with veiled eyes. That the man can go from... this to murderous fury is troublesome. Not that Shealtiel hasn't grown used to humanity's savagery in the past three decades, but to see it so brazenly juxtaposed with this almost child-like nonchalance is... as he mentioned before, psychopathic. Likely, the man sees no conflict between these two facets of his behavior.
Of course, the other man, Lev, is much more worrying. In their time together, Shealtiel hasn't been able to figure out if his seeming bestial disposition is the result of some inherent personality flaw, the backlash of an apocalyptic upbringing, or the manifestation of something altogether more sinister. If he has to agree with Dante on something, it is that they would all do well to stay away from the gunman from Tsavo.
He is content to remain in Michael's company for the time being, though he is certain the young man is holding back information from them all. Still, he seems to be in possession of a combination of survival skills and human decency that is surpassingly rare in the world they inhabit. He will make a fitting companion, for the time being, at least.
Cold silence has a tendency
to atrophy any sense of compassion
between supposed lovers.
Between supposed brothers.
