Dont waste your breath with me

He was still traveling in the East, learning the different areas of Boreas. It was a strange land, Gavroche decided… but one that was welcome compared to the mountainous ranges of his homeland. This particular land was curious… there were far more trees and fruit grew upon them. Houdini knew the name of many of them and happily gave the information to her companion before she set off on her own little adventure of nomming the delicious things that were upon the ground.

Alone now Gavroche pondered about his past. How his grandmother, the infamous Keno Kedieo had attempted to tear his wings from his as a pup. How horrified his mother had looked… how his aunt and cousin had stepped in to aid him. Melanthios… it had been some time since Gavroche had seen her. Was she still doing alright? She had left not long after the incident… had she too been changed from the family as he had?

He almost missed the arrival of another. He happened to turn his head as the wind blew and it was then that Gav saw the other young man. There were tears in his eyes, and he seemed to be struggling to make a sound. Had… had Gavroche done something to upset him?

No, he thought. He’d never seen this other boy before.

“Hey.” Gavroche barked softly, turning his small body towards the other. “Do you want to talk about it? I’m… I don’t think I’m the greatest at advice but I can listen if you want.” His voice was soft, gentle. Maybe the other would feel better if he talked it out?
