anonymousblack The son moved when the Father did, and when he heard his Father stop, the son stopped also. He knew how to still and soften his footfall by walking lightly on the edges of his feet. This way, he crept down the stairs, padded the halls silently. The Father wasn't aware of the son's presence or location.
Once, the Father made an unexpected, sudden turn around a corner where the son was standing. The Father, surprised, visibly jumped and had to clutch at his chest. The son noted this, and was sure to surprise his Father more often.
