Timon didn’t understand what it was to sharpen knives but somehow caught what Urd had been insinuating. He stopped smashing the amulet against the ground immediately, the sound replaced by a long silence.
Okay, so it worked after all. Now what? He couldn’t just march out there and tell her he needed her help. That would be embarrassing, not to mention completely degrading. But he couldn’t exactly hide under a barrel all night either. That was even more degrading. And what if he got worse, then what would he do? It wasn’t as though one of those human ‘hospitals’ was a hop, skip, and a jump away.
The meerkat silently considered his options. He wasn’t the type to ask for help unless needed it – which in this case he clearly did – but even then he found himself debating whether he should go through with it or not. Urd was the last person- er, goddess, he wanted to see right now. Second last, possibly third… Maybe fourth, fifth… Alright, there were a lot of worse people he could have called on but, either way, he didn’t want anyone to see him to begin with. Maybe all this was a bad idea. Urd would probably mock him or worse: tell everyone. He frowned.
If he didn’t ask her now he wouldn’t later.
Taking a deep breath, Timon winced as he slowly crawled out from under the barrel on all fours. His eyes focused solely one the pavement while he struggled to think of something to say. “I…”
