Keep your Head in the Clouds

He paused, hearing the sound of someone's voice. They were speaking to him - what did they want from him? The boy turned away from the sound of rushing water, and stared half heartedly at the woman that had spoken. Her soft voice struck him as strange, similar to his mother's voice but not nearly as calming. "I guess." He answered back, not sure how far away counted as far away from home. He was a good half day's travel, maybe more? Nothing to worry about if it was up to him, but he supposed it wasn't entirely up to him in the end.

It was getting cold, and mother would start to worry. That was never the boy's intention when he set out on his own.

"I'm Aeron." Questions were easy, he rarely had a problem asking questions. It was opinions that he struggled with, questions about his feelings, where he would end up not answering or ignoring the other because he wasn't sure what to do with the subject. She sat down, and he mimiced her, although his skinny tail didn't curl around his legs the way that it did hers. "Who are you?" He asked, idly curious about who this woman was. "Do... you know my mother?" Perhaps they were friends of some sort, and if that were the case she was here to bring him back to Tortuga.

He wouldn't mind going home, but he didn't mind seeing a bit more of the world either.
