Seaside Contemplation

Continued from “Vision at the Willow Grove.”
~~~

We were all afraid to speak to him. The witch had made her proclamation. What more could be said?

Kannir had planted himself on the seashore and stared out to the horizon. After several days had passed, I could not bear it any longer and confronted him.

I spoke firmly, “You need to return to the village, Kannir.”

Kannir responded after a few moments, “I have to find her, Goten.”

“The witch said you saw a demon intent on stealing your heart. Be reasonable.”

“I do not know if she was a demon,” Kannir replied, “but she already has my heart.”

    Shouldn't that be "bear it any longer"?
