After his hand was placed upon I'shan's shoulder, Sanderon's resolve to forgive the man did not lessen. In fact it grew more determined. Too much hate. Too much rage. He couldn't go back to his family. Not now and probably not ever at the rate he was going. He was tired of being so angry. It just wasn't worth it any more. It had only made things worse and not just for himself.
When I'shan did not turn around straight away, Sanderon's eyes finally showed the slightest amount of emotion. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly and his brow creased again. He was sorry, sad and extremely tired in body and spirit. He didn't want to fight anymore. He hoped I'shan didn't either.
When I'shan turned and took his hand in his own, Sanderon hoped.
I'shan's desire that Sanderon get better was more comforting than the man might ever realize. What he said next, made Sanderon's blank face relax. The drugs were wearing off more and his face could now express what his slaughtered mind was trying to show. Gratitude. A softening of his eyes and the slightest hint of a sincere smile could be seen now as he answered I'shan's last question with his voice.
It was just a whisper offered with great effort, but it was there just the same. A word, just one. Would he let I'shan help him?
"Yes."
