"What's this? Can you write out?" He asked

He gave him a sheepish look, and shook his head no. Sean didn't know how to read or write.

"What is it?" Kai asked, still confused

Sean breathed in, lifted a hand to gently press against his throat where it hurt. "Mom," he spoke in a muted rasp.

Kai heard his voice and shivered. "Your mom did this to you?" He asked

Tears formed on Sean's eyelids. He gave a stiff nod.

Kai looked at Sean sorrowfully "I'm sorry…why did she hurt you?"

He looked away, and curled into himself. Sean didn't want to answer that.

"Hey it's ok. You can stay out here if you want, I'll bring you a blanket. If you want someplace softer, you can come inside my house and sleep there." Kai said, yawning

Sean looked back over and up at Kaius. A slip of curiosity in his eyes as well. For such an alien thing as Kaius, Sean was now curious as to what his house looked like, compared to Sean's.

Kai saw the curiosity in his eyes and smiled "follow me." Then he frowned "I havent told you my name. Kaius but most people call me Kai." He said, walking to the housr

He lifted a hand to silently ask for help standing up.

Kai came over and helped Sean stand up

His legs wobbled for a moment underneath him. With the bandages wrapped tightly over his middle, though, he found it much easier to maintain his center of balance. He was lucky his legs only suffered scrapes, unlike his arm. As they walked past, X stood up to follow with a wagging tail.

Kai used one hand to support Sean as they walked towards his house

He shuffled along, eyes widening at the sight of the large home.

"Welcome to my humble abode." Kai grinned and sneaked in through the back door.

He peered down when his feet came in contact with cold hard floor, visibly fascinated with the newness of it. Taking it all in, his eyes lingered on certain things, most unfamiliar.

"Ok, you can sleep on my bed, I'll take the couch." He whispered and took Sean upstairs.

Sean eyed the stairs with familiarity. All of this was so strange to him, strange and pleasant. He managed up the steps fairly well.

"Ok, here." Kai said, leading him to his bed and handing him an extra blanket

He laid down slowly, a deep, drawn out sigh leaving him as he sank into the mattress.

"Good night." He whispered and made himself comfortable on the sofa. He whistled and X came, laying beside him

Sean stared at the dark ceiling. He'd never felt so comfortable in his life, and.. never more confused.

Soon after, kai had fallen asleep, X laying in top of him
