Ouroboros Spine Gaze

The man caught the orb and within moments, tucked it in to the leather sack where he kept it. He did not say anything about Mojag's outburst - not that the boy expected anything, he was rarely cautioned against action, and rarer still were any judgements by the adults. It felt like a suitable reaction to reach for the stone at the time, which Cerne reinforced by the lack of condemnation.

Instead he was gentle. He smiled, and in a way his voice sounded kind; as if he commended the boy for what he saw. He was dismissive quickly enough after that, and Mojag was too busy with his many emotions to notice as the magician made his polite departure.

He only nodded, and watched him go. Mojag had many questions - and when he could finally orient his mind in a way to allow for them, Cerne was already gone. He would seek out his mother then, and ask her for clarity.
