[That Asil calls the cabins upscale concerns her. Not that it would be a hardship to be there, but it feels like she's become Goldilocks and the Three Bears. This pack treats her poorly. This pack treats her too well. She doesn't feel as if she's earned any luxury, but then again she probably ought to see just how nice it is before she makes judgments. Some things can be rather subjective.
His responses continue to inspire questions in her. How modest is modest? If it is modest, why should she see the kitchen? Is it among the renovations? Has he put more time into the place where he keeps his roses? No, instead of that, why does he rarely have visitors? He says he is unstable, she's seen it, but he's been so charming to her, she doesn't understand why more would not visit him.
Eun opens her mouth to ask, but Asil adds more.
More that this time she did not expect. That does not answer any of her questions.
She goes still as he mentions so calmly that he asked his son to kill him. That he was sent to Bran--and again, she has questions. Sent to Bran for what purpose? To do what his son would not? That there was a schism between father and son makes her heart ache with sympathy. Asil is so very old, and she thinks that perhaps his son is also. A werewolf too, if Asil asked Hussan to kill him. A separation between parent and child when they have been in each others lives for so long--Eun cannot fathom how deeply terrible it must have been.
Carefully, she watches Asil out of the corner of her eye, at him but not at him as he speaks. Confesses in the quiet of his car. That his son now talks of visiting, that Asil is still there, does that mean that perhaps things are better than when he first arrived in Aspen Creek? He has prepared his home for a possible guest. For the two that visit him...]
Invite him. It sounds as if it's been a very long time since you saw each other, and he may be waiting for you to ask him outright. To respond to those "threats" you mentioned.
[She wants to ask him if he still wants to die. Why he wanted to in the first place. If it's because he feels unsafe that he asked, or if wanting to die was a symptom of his instability. There is a difference there, she thinks. Small, but significant.
She wants to know why she cares so strongly about his well-being already. He is dominant to her, but the human she was and the wolf inside her want to see him safe and protected, even from himself.]
