Sleepy Fox Hollow it don't feel right to see you, friend

*catches all the vomit with open arms* >w<

Mereo did not sound like a pleasant place to Emmerich. The white-hooded boy listened as Siku shared some of his experience with someone called Imperator. The name alone was unwelcoming and cold. It felt strange to hear it outside of their simple Paleo ranks. The individual that Siku spoke of had sent away the boy’s father. It left a heavy feeling in Emmerich’s chest, imagining what it would be like if Mahler had been sent away on a commanded mission.

It made sense why Siku would not want to be part of that place. It hurt Emmerich to think that he had once longed to visit the military pack and learn from its strongest warriors. Isa could visit Mereo all she liked. It sounded like a horrible place to go. The Paleo boy wondered if Siku had run away from his home – if he planned to join their hollow pack without his mother or brother knowing about it.

I do not like the sound of the Imperator…

The young boy lifted his head in solidarity. He would stand with Siku, and he would vouch that the boy with mismatched eyes was a perfect fit for Paleo.

You may stay in my home if my parents allow it. I think you would feel better here. We all work hard, but it isn’t because we are ordered. We work hard because we need to take care of each other. Emmerich offered an encouraging smile to the dappled visitor.
