Sleepy Fox Hollow it don't feel right to see you, friend

he did not know why he felt so surprised to see another boy. mereo had plenty of boys being soldiers. patrolling and sparring.

perhaps that was the surprise. that this place might be just like mereo.

so his heart settled in his throat with heavy thuds. even as the boy spoke very unlike those of mereo. a voice unlike any he had heard before.

oh. thank you. he offered, awkward but good natured. um, i'm siku. i...was actually hoping to maybe stay. if paleo is a good place.
