WHEN I WAS ONLY TWELVE YEARS OLD
MY PARENTS WENT WALKING
I HATE THOSE WICKED WORDS THEY'D SAY
Too long had he languished, choice removed by sickness that clung as final treatment was conducted, the very notion of allowing himself to further whittle time away without strenuous activity deplorable. Yet the issue was present in such desire, even the simple act of a short walk had grown laborious. Extensive the conversations staged to impart the progress necessary to tend his ailing body, slow the mend for ignored all until final moments when more extensive the care. Aside all placed, quietened his mind away from the enclosed walls, the largely abandoned den set aside for Vaas offering only a minimal respite.
Slow his progression across chilled grains, the run off of melted snow leaving sodden that it may reach, enjoyed in comparison to the heat scouring his skin. Begun winter with lacklustre fanfare, the departure of the blizzard heralding a more mild climate, exploited the days that the more dense creatures utilised as a final feast. Light the atmosphere most tried to maintain, beneath underlying the confliction of relishing a supposed victory and snuffing such for what was known a change in the coming days, observed they as on the child continued. Known how his temper flared with the slightest hint one suspected he may be incapable of coming along, thus wide the berths of some and silent the greeting of other. None of them mattered when voices arose, briefly impeded his slow walk, exercise meant only to begin strengthening his muscles once more.
Ache begun within shoulders and hips, wound about and crept along legs stretched to limits, pace quickened into a clumsy run. Peaceful the scene to which he entered with ragged pants, grown shaky on legs that threatened to fold beneath his meagre weight, chin tilting up until he may regard the reptilian beast with a hard glare. Or, at the least, he tried, the awe in those steadily widening depths undermining his attempt to appear imposing.
"You're big." Rather obvious the statement spoken in grating tone, ended with a cough that twisted his visage into a brief grimace, yet returned his attention once more to Scorne.
