.It occurred to him that he should have prepared thepotatoes first but the meat had looked too tempting.The pre-made potato salad they'dbought from the market would suffice for a side dish."This place would be a good area for you to train," he said as he went back inside."Yeah," Boyd's voice came from outside through the open door."I was thinking about that earlier.I wanted to do some hiking and bring my sketchbook, too.""That is not conducive to training.""I meant them as separate events," Boyd said in amusement."I'm not going to train all week."Sin didn't reply until the steaks were carefully placed on the grill and it was covered."Well, let me know when you want to.It will be interesting to see how well you do.""Maybe I'll even beat you," Boyd said thoughtfully."For a second."There was silence for a moment before Sin simply gave his partner a discreet half-smile."We'll see."===Boyd was silent as he slipped through the woods.The trees towered around him,moving faintly in the wind, the leaves a quiet rustle in the background.He was straininghis ears for any slight noise out of the ordinary and he continually scrutinized the areaaround him.He searched for the smallest details to tell him which direction Sin mayhave gone and how close he was.Sin was adept at moving through the woods practically unseen, so his trail was difficultto follow.Boyd had to pay especially close attention to tiny snapped twigs and the faintdragging of the leaves across the ground.He could see his lover's footprints appearingand disappearing like a ghost that flitted down to Earth and revealed itself occasionally,just often enough to remind the living of its existence.Nearly an hour had passed since Sin had disappeared into the woods ahead of Boydand a trickle of adrenaline kept Boyd's senses on high alert.Every short cry of anIn the Company of ShadowsInterludesanimal, every rustle of the leaves, every shift of a tree branch, and Boyd's gazesnapped over to identify whether the roles had reversed and his lover was stalking him.It was the first time they'd decided to do training in a roleplaying capacity and Boydfound it to be intriguing.Sin was the target Boyd was meant to track down andincapacitate.They pretended this was a mission and even when Sin had gone into thewoods, they'd already been in character.It was more fun than the typical sparring theyengaged in and Boyd had the brief thought that Doug should have tried something likethis during level 10 training.There were times Boyd lost the trail completely and times he wondered whether he waseven following the correct one.It was possible he'd lost Sin long ago and now he wasfollowing the tracks of an astute hunter.Finally, moving slowly and silently, he spied his lover's form ahead of him, nearly hiddenby the trees.Sin was moving calmly through the woods, his head tilting this way andthat as he presumably searched for Boyd while at the same time ensuring that he leftthe least telling tracks as possible.Boyd slid to a crouch and was especially careful not to make a noise as he shifted in awide arc around Sin to move behind him.He crouched in the cover of the foliage andtrees, pausing occasionally behind a tree trunk for a patient length of time to ensure hispresence wouldn't come upon Sin too quickly.He moved closer bit by bit, his gazezeroed in on his lover and occasionally darting around to consider how best toapprehend him.The woods were thick and there wasn't much to work with.Although he could havefashioned a weapon, it would have made too much noise and it would have seemed likecheating.Boyd wasn't about to throw a rock at the back of Sin's head; he wanted tobring him down in hand-to-hand combat or it wouldn't truly be training.He determined that his best chance for success was taking Sin by surprise from behindand adapting as quickly as possible to any of Sin's reactions afterward.With that inmind, Boyd moved forward more quickly, although silence was still his top priority.Hewasn't going to have spent an hour tracking his partner down to ruin it by stepping on atwig at the last second.When he was finally within reach of Sin, hidden behind trees and foliage to the side ofwhere Sin was still moving, Boyd braced himself.Even hidden as he was, if Sin lookedIn the Company of ShadowsInterludesbehind him at the right angle he'd see Boyd crouched there.Not wanting to take therisk, he positioned himself as best as possible and abruptly threw himself at Sin's back.Sin turned around and immediately strafed out of the way, blocking Boyd's attack.Therewas nothing in his face to tell whether or not Boyd had truly surprised him or if he'dallowed him to get that close for the sake of the game.His expression was completelyemotionless and intent.It was disturbing to look at Sin and see the way enemies sawhim, without a flicker of compassion or familiarity in his pale green eyes.The fight began in a flurry of movement with Sin delivering a series of decisive attacksthat Boyd barely managed to dodge.It always caught him off guard to spar with Sinbecause of his extraordinary speed.Boyd was confident enough in his ability to say thathe was now on par with Kassian and Jon, but with Sin it took him awhile to adjust to thesudden onslaught of sheer power that his partner possessed.It was somethingcompletely out of Kassian's and even Emilio's boundaries and one that Boyd alwaysfound himself unprepared for [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
