That was nice, Tuvaq thought absently. That Acheron would be that worried about him, that he felt so strongly one way or another.

"Jus' thought I might be ready to talk about it a little, s'all," he murmured, rolling over a bit to look up at the other boy. "I don't know if I'm really all that... normal. You and your family were different than me and my mom." That was probably more normal, staying with your parents until you were a year old. Having a support system. "Um... my mom didn't really care about me, I don't think. She didn't really care much about her, either, probably, because she kinda just let..." Yikes, this was hard to say. "Anyway, when I was a little older, she stopped caring, I guess? Just let stuff happen to me. And I thought it was all okay - like that happened all the time, so it was fine." Hazel eyes flicked back to the ants for a moment. "I think you're the first real friend I've ever had. I've spent more time with you than anyone and you haven't tried to... do any of that stuff with me. Like, you actually care about me. And I care about you. It's... weird, but nice."
