Night Steel had seen Zeo talking to a hairy,if rather bow covered,beast. "Zeo,"he said,"may I have a word with you?" Exhaling a little,he went on. "This isn't easy for me,but . . .I'd like to apologize to you if I have made you uncomfortable in any way.You're the first true friend I've made since arriving in the Realm.Please understand,I never meant to smother you or anything,but if that's what I did,I'm sorry.Perhaps I came on too strong I don't know." After a minute or two,he spoke again. "Perhaps I should have more faith inyour ability to handle things here and I wish you the best of luck."
