"You come live with me," she said, looking to the girl. "we take care of you, and look for your mama." It seemed like the right thing to do. Kids needed a mama, right? So Aerndis could borrow her mama for a little while.
"Umm… I've been to the Mile High Woods…the glacier place…ummmm I don't really remember where everything is called. What about you? Have you been to a lot of places?" Almost instantly, she perked up. Excitement flooded back into her muscles, and Marvel felt better. She liked it when everyone was happy. It sounded like she was on her way to becoming the best explorer in the world! Hesitating, she hummed softly. Where had she been? Not many places. She wasn't adventurous, not like Forfax or Aerndis. "I been to black snow and water, is called.. black sand beach. Been all over the big mountains, and.. dunno. Da says we going away from home, see the rest of place." Well, that was lame. Everyone else had gone to all these cool places, and she wasn't even sure if she'd ever left home.
"You should come with us, see everything." A solemn nod was given, quite sage for a youngster like Marvel. Two toned gaze returned to her new friend, wondering what she might think.
