Go ask yer pa and he be sayin' he know what i feelin'!
All the steam was let out of the boy. He visibly sagged before Quennell.
What did he know of Swordfish’s dad? What had he suffered from Njord’s absence? Now it was made to sound like some youthful calling, some need to go and leave behind everything for his righteous cause. Quennell knew nothing about what it was like to be the one left behind.
The redtail turned away from his friend. He wouldn’t let the other boy see him hurt. Quennell had talked to everyone but the redtail across from him. Always the last to know. Swordfish’s heavy-lidded stare was fixed on a distant subject. He just needed to find somewhere dark. He just needed to find somewhere dark where he could hide.
Swordfish didn’t say another word to Quennell. He fixed his back to the red-naped boy and began to walk. He did not know where his legs would take him.
