Northstar Vale Cute without the E.

New one?

Scavenging sounded like something nerds did. Even Towhee had called it clever of him to have done it. Jack wasn’t sure if he was impressed or bothered. He didn’t want to be clever, per say. He wanted to be the toughest. He wanted to brawl and scrap until he had earned his keep and then some. The boy had little interests in using his mind to achieve his goals.

I wanted to chase the frogs, mom. I chased them but they jump so high and they go so fast! Like super fast! I only caught one of them but I wanted him. I wanted to eat it. For me!

Jack peered at her, wondering if she would be happy that he’d fulfilled his own wishes, or disappointed that he hadn’t thought of his family first. Only one frog wasn’t much of a shared snack, after all. Jack had gobbled it up in record time. Like a boy scarfing down pie at a carnival.

So I did eat the frog! But you needed a treat, too. So I just found the fish cause I’m tired and I don’t wanna chase frogs anymore. Okay?

She could have the next one he caught.
