Larksong Grotto Moves west, flowers' shadows

Scary? Veteran hadn't really thought about it that way. Mostly-- in his experience-- being a guardian was very monotonous. It was a lot of walking the same patrol route over, and over, and over... so often he was dying for something to happen. But he did have to admit that if he ever was in an altercation, it would probably be scary. The fight he had already been in was scary, come to think of it, and that had been with his own sister. He imagined a fight with a stranger would be even more scary. So this other kid was probably right! 

Before Veteran could tell him so, the kid asked him if he "got time for himself," again throwing Veteran through a bit of a loop. He wasn't sure how to answer that. He was a kid. All of his time was for himself. 

"Umm.. I like to chase lizards. And I like watching the lights in the night sky," he offered, wondering if listing some more of his favorite activities would help answer the question. 

"My name's Veteran," he added. "I live in Duskfire Glacier." Had the other kid heard of it?
