Re: Calvin/Tad
Tad had never experienced the need to have someone like what he created as badly as he did now. He hated feeling weak like this and had no idea why he required to talk to Calvin. He was still afraid of the man but liked him anyway. Controlling his emotions was not easy and his eyes became watery. "Ciri said...I make presents because it is nice to get... and I broke a big rock a little to get a statue of Dante." (Was that the right word, statue?)
"I put paint on it and put wires for electricity..." He wiped his eyes with the back of his sleeve. "He's sick. He had to say it's shit." Tad met Calvin's eyes with teary ones of his own. "I made your present and it's shit too. And Ciri and Pan and Cassie." He was weak for telling Calvin all of this and turned to run away so the man would not see the tears leaking from his eyes. He needed to go to his hiding place to cry and blow up rocks.
