Hushed Willows All connecting love becomes a human shield

He too was tired after the long, almost never-ending walk. He stuck closely to Lumiya's side, being the only one he sort of knew after their ordeal and stayed a little away from the stranger they met up with. He assumed he was one of Lumiya's friends, but still, he had a hard time trusting anyone right now other than the only one who came to his aid.

Trying his best to not come off as tired as he was, he kept up with the adults the best he could. His wounds hurt, his legs hurt, his head hurt above all else - but he was stronger than this and was certain that Lumiya's home would be a good place to rest up as soon as they got there. A safe place. 

And it was. Well, it was pretty at least that's what he found. Safe would be something he would have to determine for himself later. The branches swayed and the light was abundant in comparison to the shadowy forest from back home. He didn't feel like he quite belonged if he was being honest, this place was too nice for him, but it would do. 

If he wants it to be. A little confused by this, what if he didn't want to? Was she just going to send him off on his own to find somewhere better for his own taste? How weird. He nodded instead of giving her lip, mostly because all he wanted to do now was rest. It's nice. He let his eyes wander the forest of weeping trees, he couldn't imagine what would be in there to find.
