Warden listens quietly as the girl talks. When he'd asked why she was out here... well, it wasn't the answer he expected. Wasn't the answer he anticipated. Though the topic is dark, his expression remained open and curious. The boy doesn't know that he'd nearly killed his mother on his way into the world. He doesn't know just how close he came to growing up without Halo's constant worrying, over-explaining, and insistence that the pups be gentle and kind. Warden can't know. Not yet, at least.
Seeing everything, that's what he can relate to. Her grin relaxes him some, too. "What's the coolest place you've seen so far?" Though she was only a little older than Warden, she'd already been on the big walk up here. She'd already traveled so far, and Warden couldn't help but be jealous of that. "Is that what happens when you die? The whole life flashing thing?" He questions quietly. The boy hasn't thought about death much, but then, he's had no reason to. The closest to death he'd come was watching mom and Wylan care for the sickly bear they'd found in the woods and nursed back to health. What a concept, especially when he's got an entire life to live.
