Coconut Grove you think you just fell out of a coconut tree?

An offer was made, and for a short moment Chaudry considered it. But no, he would not take the boy with him. It would only slow him down. But he was young, eager to work. He could understand that need for purpose. Chaudry would give him purpose.

He shook his head. "I travel alone." He grunted. "But if you wish for something to keep you occupied, travel into the mountains. My maman lives in the vale - her name is Viskani." He instructed. "Go to her and tell her that my trip will be longer than expected."

His mother would enjoy having someone so young around - someone she could keep an eye on and care for.

"She will feed and shelter you, the trip will not be in vain."
