Broken Antler Fen if you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms

Sebastian speaks that he can join them next time but sets the perimeters for them: he will remain at the borders to collect them and they are not to stray too far. To Mato this is more than fair as he had expected that he and Nova might meet chiding tongue when their father came upon them (more or less) sneaking out. Their curiosity might be only natural, it may be something that all growing children of their age nurtures but there are correct channels to go about being allowed outside of the Fen’s borders and sneaking out without permission isn’t one of them. Mato knows this. Mato also has a slight penchant for doing things he know he shouldn’t. Not necessarily to inspire young rebellion but because the curious part of him wants to learn how far he can push boundaries before they cease to accommodate and snap. He nods enthusiastically when Sebastian says that next time he’ll take them further. It is an offer that Mato knows he will hold onto. The world outside the Fen is a marvel - like the night sky and Mato itches to explore it’s vast infiniteness in the same way he hungrily studies the stars because though the pursuit of knowledge will never cease he deigns to learn as much as he can nevertheless.

His ears cup towards Nova as she suggests they should bring a souvenir back for their siblings . He ponders over it a few moments though he has deduced it is a good idea the moment she brings it up. “What did you have in mind?” He inquires of her as the pair move further away from Broken Antler Fen. His heart beat increases for a second as they take the bold steps though his confidence is not so far removed because he feels Sebastian’s eyes on their backs and even when their father is out of eye sight and they out of his, he will still be only a howl away. It reassures Mato enough to enjoy himself though he is alert, nevertheless.
