A Great, Wide World of Wonder

He took a moment after listening to her response before nodding slowly and smiling once more. She was pretty good at cheering him up with relatively minimal effort. "Thanks, I try to be. Parents aren't exactly super good. Not bad, but not good good. I dunno. Sort of neutral. In it for family, but nobody else. I wanna be nicer'n that though." He found himself perking up at the mention of her father. Red? That sounded pretty cool! "Woah, really? Sounds cool!" He listened to her as she added that her brother also had a unique coat and Amos grinned easily at her. "Seems like you've got an interesting family there. That's awesome. Mine's pretty average." He laughed and shook his head at her, rolling in the grass as he giggled. "It's not such a big deal if you make it a silly game! You're very serious, you know." She wasn't really all that old but already so genuine and focused. Surely she had a good head on her shoulders, but she could stand to lighten up and be more of a kid, for goodness sakes. He'd just have to teach her someday, then. Whenever she got out of jail. "That would be fun! I'll have to make sure I know at least a few cool places to show you by then. And some I haven't explored already. Yeah, I think we could have some fun exploring around, seeing sights and stuff." He nodded thoughtfully, already plotting out possible ideas for places nearby to go to. And, later, father away. That might take even longer though depending on what her family was really like. They sounded nice, and sensible, but also far more strict than the boy was used to. His parents never really told the boys to stay safe or keep close. They just went a reasonable distance and when they were little their mom checked on them throughout the day. Seemed like he and 'Rielle were from pretty different worlds after all. "Well," he began uncertainly, not having expected this response but intrigued by it, "Sure, That sounds okay to me. I'll have to remember to think about it when I'm away so I know if I'm real interested when I come back. Thanks." He decided he'd make sure the thought lots about it, for her mostly. He found he quite liked the younger girl and thought she was pretty sweet. Maybe being in this pack could be cool. Wolves to talk to, a neat place to live safely inside the wall. He could hang out with 'Rielle, and whoever else was in there than might be fun. Yeah, that all sounded rather appealing. He'd consider it. Walk. "Speak!" "Think." |
