Neverwinter Forest latenight

The boy didn’t hesitate to oblige. He drew close to his father and found comfort in Maxim’s warmth.

The man asked if Jack had seen anything cool while they had visited the forest. The boy wanted to say that he had – duh – but he couldn’t think of anything that stood out. The question was strange, sitting on the air while it waited for a proper response. Any usual spunk had been deflated from the boy. He didn’t feel right. He didn’t feel like they were having fun.

Dad? he asked quietly. I thought… I thought it’d be cool to be out here cause I’ve never been to this place. And I thought mom would like it. As a thought, staying in the forest was a brilliant idea. Jack might have taken credit for it, if it didn’t feel so sour after some time had passed.

But I think I wanna go home. I miss my sister.
