Backing Down

"Don't get ahead of yourself. I know how you are" Ninja called up to me.
Man that guy isn't going to leave me be is he?
I was standing at the top of the cliff that he had previously saved me from.
I looked at Scipio. It was unclear what we wanted for ourselves and so, it was unclear to tell what each of us wanted from the other.
I wanted stay.
I wanted to go.
I backed down the cliff.
I won't choose either.
Not now.
I'll stay on a ledge in the middle.
Ninja still talks to me from down below. He hasn't left my side.
Scipio is preoccupied.
Some things change. Others don't.
