Little Goat Mountain the poem that took place of a mountain

Sriracha fell uncharacteristically silent. Rather than direct the proceedings, he wanted to see how they would play out. He wanted to see Ocra's leadership abilities and Xan's reaction to her directions. He wanted to see how they worked together, for that was the only way this would work. Sure, Sriracha could help, but he admired the way Xan wanted to take responsibility for his actions. The kid seemed like he could use a few well-earned life lessons, and Sriracha didn't want to get in the way of that.

Ocracoke seemed to have some kind of healing knowledge, and this pleased Sriracha. If things went well, she would have something to dull her pain. If they didn't, Sriracha was confident in his ability to protect her from the boy.
