Re: Danny the dog: Open
You weren't supposed to look strong ones in the eyes. This had been beaten into Danny since he was little. On the other hand this one told him to. Danny felt very conflicted and feared someone somewhere would come give him a beating if he did look up or if he didn't... While the strong one talked to the other man, Danny carefully took a step back before looking up if only briefly and very shyly...
The strong one used many words, many pretty words... Some of them words Danny hadn't heard before. The other man disappeared, probably because the strong one told him to. He demanded to be obeyed, both when listening to his words and the way he handled himself. Danny would not like to be told to fight him or practice with him, and hoped that would not be the case. If Bart really was dead, he'd much rather follow this man instead.
At the question Danny looked up confused at the strong one, not quite understanding the question... and the name Daniel confused him to. Did he mean him? He'd been called Danny for as long as he could remember...
