Fakir had developed a bad habit of deliberating too long on things. He would languish, indecisive and hesitant, until opportunities passed or were snatched up by someone else.
That night, he had deliberated on the couch for over and hour, pretending to read The Neverending Story again.
'You have so many chances thrown at your feet, and you never take them. You're a coward.'
The book snapped shut in his hands, and he sighed heavily as he set it down and got up to stalk to the room he shared with Mytho. He ridiculous was he acting, going out of his way not to even be in the same room as Mytho? He had been so firmly set on speaking to him after running into Rue, but he so quickly lost his nerve.
Well, no more. He straightened his spine and pushed his shoulders back, taking on an overconfident posture that would have amused any onlookers, and opened the door.
