Chapter 14 Silent Partner

Thanatos anxiously paced back and forth. Usually he felt comfortable at Joseph's but this time it was different. He shoved his hands in his pockets and stared out the window watching down the road for Raina and Nolan's arrival. He knew it wouldn't be for another hour or so but he still couldn't help himself from growing impatient.

Turk lay on the bed his head in his paws just watching him. He was being his old patient self.

"I could learn a thing or two from you couldn't I boy?"

Turk lifted his head expectantly.

"Let's go outside," he suggested. He grinned when the dog jumped from the bed. He'd take him outside for a run and distract himself at the same time.

As they went down the stairs Thanatos saw Titus entering the hall. He gave them a slight smile.

"All is well?" Titus asked. He patted Turk as the dog came rushing to him. Turk was a good judge of character.

"All is well," Thanatos answered. "Was just taking the dog outside. Have to admit I'm a little stir crazy waiting for Nolan to get here. I'll feel better once both of them are safely here."

Titus nodded. "Why don't I join you?"

Thanatos liked that suggestion, so he also gave an answering nod and they continued out the back.

It was a bit cool outside but still warmer than any spring day back home. Thanatos felt that he could get used to Florida winters. He grabbed up a fallen stick and tossed it for Turk. The dog was quickly back. wanting another go.

"Nolan says great things about you," Titus began. The older immortal continued walking through the yard and away from the house.

Thanatos took this as a sign that he wanted a little privacy. He followed willingly grabbing the stick from Turk each time the dog came back. He launched it a little harder to give the dog a greater distance to run.

"He says much the same about you," Thanatos complemented. "Not many people earn his trust so easily. He has the gift of healing but he's also very discerning. For that fact, I decided to like you before I even met you."

Titus blue eyes glittered with humor. "Is that a fact?"

The green eyes met his with a steady stare. "I never put much into trusting anyone before. Nolan helped cure me of that."

"How did he do that?"

Thanatos chuckled and tugged the stick from Turk's mouth. "He trusted me…the most untrustworthy person."

"And how did this help you learn to trust others?"

"He trusted me when I thought I was untrustworthy. Turns out he was right about me." The green eyes lit. "I ended up being one loyal person and I didn't know I had it in me. He knew I did."

Titus laughed at this and this time he took the stick from Turk to toss it. "You know your friends going to need you now more than ever."

Thanatos shoved his hands in his pockets. "I know." He nodded. “What you’ve asked is going to cost him,” he said softly.
