Stone Circle The Question

the boy tucked his feet beneath his chest as indra looked at him rather expectantly -- he wondered if his wording sounded too serious. he sent a bashful smile her way, tail tapping against the grass beneath the stone, and said, i just wanted to check in on you. there was a lot happening that marten just... couldn't understand. i mean, he did, he understood what had happened, but he couldn't understand how on this earth someone could be so... evil. but he was not that naive, he knew that life was not perfect. indra would've raised him wrong for him to believe otherwise. 

his expression sobered, but only out of respect -- he did not come to dance and laugh, it was not up for him to set the mood, and he could not force anyone to be happy with all that had been going on. how are you doing? he asked, and then glanced to the rabbit he'd brought her, have you eaten?
