Otatso Wetlands your actions don't rewind

Thank you for the opportunity :D I’d love to have another thread with them sometime in the future, but his timeline is now a little funky and present dated he’s around Taiga now. We could continue along the adventure in this one & have them part ways, or back-date a second thread! Whichever you prefer.

A snort escapes the Wayfarer, a chuckle soon to follow after; amused that she would think a sting is the worst of what he’s dealt with. Pain is something the boy has grown used to, and while it does sting as she says, it is far from the torment he’s been inflicted prior. He stays still as she applies it, watching closely.

Her whole spiel is taken with him half-listening; although deep in his core, he does appreciate her tending to him. Without the lesson, he would have been much worse off than he is now.

You’re an odd one, he comments, flexing his toes until he stands to his feet. You always pick up ‘helpless’ strays? Regardless, the Wayfarer knows she’s right and if he gets a free meal out of it, well, he ain’t gonna argue. He gestures for her to lead the way.
