He finally starts to visibly relax when Davey teases him again. There is a lightness to his tone that lets Atoll know okay, cool, this is working. I'm cool, I'm cool. Now he just had to stay in this sweet spot. It was way harder work than he expected! The younger boy padded closer to get a better look at the drawing Davey had sketched in the dirt and listened carefully to his explanation. Another sharp, cold wind whipped across the lake and he scowled at it. Winter was coming, whether he liked it or not. Didn't mean he had to let go of his childlike resentment for the change in the season. Atoll's eyes flicked between the drawings and the sky and then back again until his eyes located the shining, brightest one: the one that always pointed north. "Oh! I see it, I see it!" He chirped, youthful excitement shattering his carefully crafted cool-lusion.
