Sleepy Fox Hollow From outside of time

It was a good thing that Stag felt just as awkward by the encounter as Elfie did, which gave the latter more confidence and inclination to be friendly towards the Diasporan boy. Invitation for a game sounded interesting, his face lit up in cheerful expectation and it was as if he was going to suggest something any moment, but... the light went away, his brow furrowed in concentration and then too it was gone. He had wanted to suggest a game only to realize that he did not know any.

"What do you want to do?" he asked Stag, not wishing to tell him about his crazy head. It was enough that Maegi and Mahler knew. He did not wish children his age to know this as well.
