Otter Creek boredom

mind if we use this for vaati's scout trade? :)

[table width=70%][tr][td]

The boy embarks on a journey once again along the river, but does not expect to see his somewhat of a recluse Uncle walking his own path on the way. It is a curious notion to him, that the man whom Vaati only ever sees within the shadows of the dark woods should appreciate life outside of those very shadows, but nevertheless, the man cannot be avoided. Vaati approaches, but does not invade the activties of the older man, knowing full well what a bother is and what he does not wish to become. "Hello Uncle," He nods once, unaware that the current soul habitating his uncle's body was something other than the uncle himself. "I am leaving," The boy informs the patchwork man, for in the event his mother should inquire about his whereabouts, the boy would be able to say he had notified a sensible adult of his journey. "I am going to the Spire," He develops further, hoping that his knowledge of his destination will gloss over the dangers of a four month old traveling up the side of a mountian by himself. He does not need yet another to worry for him, he has travelled the river before.

This time he does so with a purpose other than to quench his curiosity; he wishes to see Kjalarr once more, out of simple curiostiy. But he knows better than to reveal a motive so potentially gossip-worthy to his uncle whom he knows to trust, but does not truly know. Instead, he poses a question that he has not had the chance to seek an answer for himself, but nevertheless a question he truly wanted the answer to. After minutes does he crack open his mouth, speaking softly enough to test if the man will even notice his presence, "Uncle, can you tell me what is beyond the river?" Vaati knows that the earth does not stop when the river runs dry, but how far that will take him is relevant enough. It is an excellent save, in his opinion, but uncharactersitc of the boy. Vaati seldom spoke at length and has little interest in doing so; the words he speaks are forced and he doubts that his Uncle will be able to tell the difference.
