Herbs, cliffs, and dangerous thoughts

Hopping the other male hasnt spotted him yet,he tried to slip away in silence or just pretend he foraged,for whatever he could. He felt a knot on his throat,prey to the sadness that swirled inside his chest. He knew this actitude was childish and dumb, but he just couldnt stop blaming himself for his parents and the apparent loss of Tempo.

He stopped walking, feeling his pale blue eyes landing in a bush, a green one with berries. But not that he was caught by them but the thoughts that now invaded his brain. His heart pounded harder as he felt anxious and wishing to just disappear. To make an end to his tormented life.

There as a tear managed to escape his left eye, the male he tried to avoid spoke. At first, he didn't think it was toward him but as far as he could see only the two of them were present. "I.. I mean..." Oh yes Juniper. "Is this one what you mean with Juniper?" He asked looking back to the bush he stared at a few instants ago.
