He smiled, wagging his tail as Leo spoke. This was up until he mentioned his father. The boy shifted uncomfortably before glancing to the ground. He was filled with both fear and guilt. She was afraid to go see his father, fearful of his reaction towards his disappearance and of course all the events that have happened recently. Maybe Leo could help him feel better and convince him that everything would be okay. Maybe he even knew of his father's current state of mind and if it would be the right time to go visit.

"Is he hurt real bad?" the boy asked looking up to his uncle's eyes. He did hope his father was okay.
