Stone Circle good-bye, but not forever

He couldn’t understand the desire to be anywhere other than home. Perhaps it would come to him later when instincts kicked in and all that, but right now as a youthful teenager he found that there was simply no drive to explore. He was ok with that, more than ok actually. Yeah it could be boring sometimes but he rather enjoyed the lack of chaos and drama. Besides, his family was here and even if they all chose to leave him one day he’d still be here like a total loser, patiently waiting for the day they return. 

So even though he couldn’t understand the reasoning behind Nikai’s departure, Ezra still supported his brother nonetheless. The same concern for his wellbeing crossed the boy’s mind, but he believed that Nikai was the best judge in this situation and that if he felt he couldn’t handle it, he wouldn’t be going in the first place. And so he remained silent, steadying himself when his mother shifted close, blue eyes trailing from his mother to his sister as he wondered if they had anything else to bring to attention.
