"Isaac, Jack, who ever you are. There is nothing to regret. There is a life somewheres for you but there isn't one here with me." Adu told Isaac. He could tell she was struggling to sound sincere. He looked out of a nearby window and watched the clouds. He thought it was slightly ironic. It had looked stormy the day they were seperated and now it looked stormy the day they were reunited. Isaac smiled for several moments but soon stopped and turned back to Adu.
Isaac shook his head before speaking. "Adu, I never planned on leaving you permanently. I was going to return to you as soon as I could, but I was attacked...I don't know. It's easy for you to say that there's a life for me somewhere. I'd wager that I could say that as well if I knew my past. I have no life, I've nowhere to go." He leaned forward, placed his elbows on his knees and buried his face in his hands.
It's true. I have nowhere to go, I have no one. I shouldn't stay here any longer, I should leave. I must leave, perhaps when the weather is better... he thought as he stood back up. Before Adu could reply to what he had said, he began to speak again. "Adu, you're right. I have no life with you now and I will pester you no longer. I will be leaving in two days, until then I will be around here. If you wish to talk, you're welcomed to try and find me." he walked out the door of the inn after he said these words. His eyes traveled and looked once again to the sky. Despite the impending bad weather the sky brought him a small feeling of comfort. Isaac walked over to one of the trees. It would do. The lowest branch was still quite a ways out of his reach. Isaac crouched down and jumped with all his might, quite easily catching hold of the thick branch and pulling himself up onto it. It was here that he sat, watching the patrons inside the inn.
