Poem's instruction didn't go unheard even as his mind was already in the midst of what was good and what was bad. Or what was safe for him. Certainly he couldn't wait until he was big and could do what he wanted though not out of rebellion. But instead just knowing that he could protect himself or stand strong in the currents or do countless other things that adults could. Balthier was definitely a child that anyone should want. He was obedient and careful, but also fun and adventurous. The raft falling apart down the stream wasn't at all disheartening to him. He did get the understanding of how it was made, and still it made his heart soar to think he could do something adventurous in the future. And just as his thoughts wandered and explored all options, Poem had seemed to read his mind. "Oh, wow. The ocean. That's really big isn't it?" Balthier could see the ocean from over the hills of his den, but he had never gone to the edge. It was more common sense than a rule, but still, seeing a pup at the edge of Serpent Plains and the ocean would have been a bit alarming to any adult in Abaven. Balthier would probably be even more driven for adventure if he went to the edge and saw the island Abaven once claimed off the coast line. |
