"Yes" Azalea looked at the boy with the hint of a smile on her face. How had she birthed such grimly serious children? She almost opened her mouth, ready to explain what sarcasm was but then she stopped. Even in her mind it made no sense, better to let him figure it out on his own that you could fake being serious. Lie. Not mean it. Her next words made Kismet even more reserved, his head dropping and a heavy sigh accompanying it. As she said nothing, simply moving over him, Soren looked to her with interest. Her question brought life into him, his whole demeanor changing. "Yes!" He nodded before catching up with her quickly. "Where we going?" His question made Azalea look ahead thoughtfully. The path they were on would lead them to the pond and then to a rocky clearing. Azalea had chosen to den them deep in the jungle, not far from the constant water source. She stopped to glance down at him. "As far as your feet will take you." The sky was the limit and she could imagine the freedom he must be feeling. The kept on the familiar trail, worn away by dwarf deer and other inhabitants of the island. She would take to the before mentioned places and even further, to the beach and perhaps even the river. It was a lot of ground for him to have to cover though and she would take him no further than he wanted to go. The too young mother motioned with the jerk of her head for him to come. "You can lead if you want, Kismet. We're going to follow this path for now." The pond wasn't far off and then they could continue on out of the jungle. He would have to traverse some thick undergrowth but Azalea was confident he was old enough to learn. |
