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

that must be mama.

he made sure to give her a proper show of respect as she neared them. shrinking into himself a bit as if to hide the way his height grew like a weed these days.

he thought of his own mother in this moment, watching mother and son interact. his own mom could often times be very formal. maybe that was why she liked being the mother of mereo. maybe that was why he worried she wouldn't understand, or even follow.

he remained thoughtful in his silence. not the bit bothered that this mama sought his name from his new friend, emmerich.
