@MaterScience He was quiet for a moment, before wrapping his arms tightly around his stomach.
He steadied himself, knowing that it was okay to say this, but still being wary.
"Grandmother.... I'm.... thirsty..."
@MaterScience He was quiet for a bit, weighing the pros and cons of going,
before he nodded, ever so slowly making his way down from the low hanging foliage.
He landed on the ground, rubbing his hands off on his shirt with a cautious expression.
He didn't answer, but he went into her arms.
@MaterScience He startled a bit, having been in a state of near sleep by the time he heard her voice.
He had a few leaves in his hair, which was fluffed up and unkempt, unlike his usual tidy appearance.
He let out a soft sound, hugging the tree.
"I'm not going home..."
@MagicalRenard_ He shook his head, opening his mouth to refuse, two fangs glistening in the soft moonlight. He retreated further into the tree, making himself look away from her exposed wrist.
❝ Lady, I'm fine... Please don't touch me.... ❞ he mumbled softly.
He's curled up in the branches of a low hanging tree, poking his head out.
With more of him exposed, he turned out to be a boy of perhaps... 14?
He didn't speak at first, just peering at her, and then, in a quiet voice,
❝ I ran away. ❞
@Adrian_Tepes_ He smoothed his hair back, giving him a soft little nod.
❝ Mhm.... I'm all healed up.....! ❞ he bowed his head respectfully, moving to sit down at the table.
