Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou?

The quiet and somewhat reclusive boy didn’t show much confidence in himself, so when Strix spoke so kindly of him the boy had trouble really digesting what his brother was saying. He certainly didn’t feel like he was so incredible, he just did what he felt best. He liked to be tucked away in the forests, he liked to play in the dirt with the plants. He liked being here in the thickets of thick foliage, away from prying eyes and as good at hide and seek as any. Strix was amazed at how well he had been hidden, had he said nothing he still would be.

He pulled himself through the leaves, more gracefully than any such tall boy might rights to be, to lead his brother back through the woods. Most of his time was spent here in this place, he knew it better than their living complex. ”Let me know when you recognize where you are, I’ll let you lead the patrol.” Kas told his sibling with a glance over his shoulder before ducking underneath a low hanging branch.
