I don't wanna be alone

The boy seemed sullen, or at least shy. He didn't have much to say, and the words that did tumble out of his mouth were quiet and mumbled. Mithras realized that he might have to be the main force in this dynamic, something he was both willing and practiced in. He offered the young boy a warm smiled and hoped his eyes conveyed the warmth he felt. "Of course, I'm so glad you chose to stay. Young ones like you have so much potential, and it is a wonderful thing to be able to have a hand in it." He wouldn't have known that before the girls came along but, alas, he was changing. "I suppose I came to ask if there is anything you need help with, or any questions you might have?" He wanted to be sure the boy felt safe and comfortable, but he also worried that he was not feeling very loved. Mith wasn't sure how to help with that, or if he was the one to do it, but he wished he could address it all the same.
