Private Finished Do You Fear Me?

Aluin was just as confused as Altizica, he didn't understand it either. All he knew was that he was supposed to be afraid, that it was him. And it was scary. Everything was scary. And Altizica's words were hard to understand, Aluin felt like crying again.
"I don't know anything, it's scary."

Aluin looked at Altizica confused and scared when he looked up, and Aluin looked up too. But he looked back down quickly, the sky was too wide and big and made him feel weird, it was scary. But Aluin listened to what Altizica said. His words were strange again, but Aluin understood most of them, including the word eldritch. It was what the scary people had said Aluin was.
"You're not scared anymore? Where did it go? You can't eat your own fear, fear is always there. I eat others' fear, it tastes good, but it's scary. It makes me scared. I make me scared, I'm a scary monster."
Aluin squeezed her power bracelet, reminded himself he wouldn't change if he didn't want to.
"I don't like eldritch, we are scary..."

Aluin felt guilty he couldn't understand very well what Altizica was saying, and he was still afraid even though Altizica said he should get over it. Aluin understood the part about fighting and about being an eldritch, but the rest was kind of strange for Aluin. After all, he was just a small child. Aluin sniffed a bit, Altizica was scary but he was nice. He was a nice scary mister.
"I'm sorry I don't understand..."
Aluin said with a guilty tone and looked down at his shoes, couple of tears falling from his eyes. He tried wiping them away but he was crying again.
"I don't want to be scary, it makes others scared of me and they hurt me..."

More Aluin listened to Altizica less scared hr was of him. Naturally he was still afraid, he couldn't not be, but Aluin felt almost as comfortable with him as he did with the nice scary lady.
Although Aluin sniffed when Altizica said he had an eternity, that was scary...
"Being here for so long...is scary."
Aluin muttered and looked at his shoes again.

Aluin fidgeted with a bandaid on his ankle, a place where one kid had tripped him with a wire on the ground. It had hurt, the wire had been pretty sharp.
"Nice scary lady...is afraid a lot. She cries at night. I don't want to make her more scared..."
Aluin's lips trembled as he cried a bit harder for a short while, when he remembered the nice scary lady being afraid when bandaging his wounds for the first time. After that Aluin had always done it himself, even though the bandaids were scary when they got all tangled and stuck to the wrong places.

The light pat of Altizica's finger was at the same time scary, but at the same time it was comforting. Even that combination was scary for Aluin, but he tried his best to concentrate on the feeling of comfort and exhaled a bit, relaxing slightly. In addition Altizica's scary yet encouraging words made Aluin feel a bit less scared than before.
But he was still scared. Aluin would always be scared.
"Thank you..."

Altizica's request and the reason behind it was indeed strange. Strange, scary, confusing, happy and sad. Aluin looked at Altizica straight for the first time and blinked.
"Related? That means...the same? Connected?"
Aluin said with a shivering voice, the very reason he was hurt almost every day was because he had no people related to him. Or, well, that was the reason the bullies used as a shield to hide their fear. But Altizica was saying he was maybe related to Aluin? That was so scary because it made Aluin...happy? Aluin didn't know, the feeling was new and scary. But he didn't hate it.
Aluin reached up, and pulled out some hair from his head with a small whimper. The slight pinch in his scalp was scary. Aluin held out his tiny fist with hair in it towards Altizica, his expression was still that of a scared child but there was mysterious determination in his eyes.
