Morningside Cuesta the betrayer

He is a spindly thing, wary at first as he creeps on not so sure feet, surging towards the offering of food when given the chance. Wild and savage, he tears into the bird with gusto. He reminds her, with a small pang, of Leto when he they were children and the sylph feels a small smile crossing her face. 

Her head dips a fraction at his gratitude as she watches the sooty child eat. Questions brew behind her lips but the healer keeps them there until the child has filled his belly. 

"Why are you alone?" The question is mostly rhetorical, he's too young to properly explain and she suspects at his age his vocabulary is limited. The question is for herself and though he's still behind where she left him, Kavik. 

"I suppose you're coming with me now. If you don't mind that so much," she tells him, simply. She doesn't question if he will; she can scrounge up more food when he's hungry and they'll be able to keep him safe.
