Sleepy Fox Hollow Feet upon the ground

Etienne looked down and shook his head. No de don't know w'ere I be. I don't want go back yet. Dey be wantin' me to fix it and I look like granme. Manman and matant can't look at me wit'out cryin'. So I be stayin' away. Too muc' like Granme Erz.

Eti loved his family and he loved his home, but he had felt grief bound ever since Erzulie and anytime any of his family looked at him. he couldn't help but wonder did they even see him? His auntie wanting him to be able to talk the sea and the gods and be like Sobo. His manman wantin' him to take care of his siblings and he loved too. His sister wanting him to always be near. Theo always wanting him to hunt and fish and do things he liked. Etienne always felt at odds and he knew this was selfish. He knew he should do what was asked, for the better of the pack. But now Granme was gone and that was a pain he couldn't quite understand or get over yet.

I guess i jus bein selfis' dough. I must be wantin to take care of dem, yea? Do the 'ealin' and let dem love me cause i look like Granme?

There was a sense of ease to tell a stranger your deepest. However it was this moment Etienne's stomach gave a loud gurgle and he realized he was still quite tired and his head hurt. And he was hungry.

Can i go back sleep now mr. Ma'ler
