why is it like this?

The boy let the topic of his leg go and for that he was grateful, because what else was he supposed to say? He didn't know how to explain to a pup that he lost his memories and with that, his leg and what had happened to it. That was going to open up a whole new can of worms in the form of questions and that he really just didn't know how to answer. If he could answer them, then all his personal problems would be solved.

The child went on then to say that he wanted to be out here playing. Had he asked his parents first? Magnus didn't consider that the boy might be too young to know a world unlike this one, but his parents certainly weren't. "They're sick because they went out and got nosy like you. Do your parents know you were out here alone?" His brow furrowed at the smaller boy, trying to enjoy his 'bath bomb' and whatever it was doing.

"Speech."
