"I've heard of that place before. What's it like?"
"I've heard of that place before. What's it like?"
Yarinaoshi looked around for another second, seeing her friends without realizing it. Then she snapped out of the grogginess and walked towards her friends.
“ somedays.. It's hell. Wars raging all around, betrayal at every turn. Others it's like the little postcards. Beauty for miles. Gets you saying glory to mother Russia. “
"Wow…that sounds like living. Russia is life, I guess, heh."
Hiro laughed. “ you could say that,” he said happily. “ so, where do you come from. What's your life like”
"I…don't remember where I used to live, but I think it's on the edge of these woods. Now, I'm just looking for a way back…maybe I can see my little brother again, and assure him that I'm alright. It's been so long since I left."
"What year is it anyway? I stopped counting a while ago."
“ I have no idea. I came to these woods about five years ago and been here since”
“I’m sorry…”
“ it's okay… “ hiro said. His voice sounded troubled, just like the look on his face. “ I… I killed my parents when I was young. I was forced into it by a soldier. So I came out here after it turned 10. This place isn't far from the border.”
“I…it’s not your fault,” Agnes said, trying to give him a reassuring smile. Maybe that would help lighten the mood?
Hiro couldn't see her the greatest but knew the tone of her voice was caring “ thanks but I've tried telling myself that a lot. “
He started to hum the song, singing the lyrics in Russian. It meant something to him.
“What song is that?” Agnes asked
“ it is an old lullaby my mother would sing me”

While walking towards her friends, Yarinaoshi heard a familiar voice and jumped onto a rock to avoid being seen.
Hiro heard the paws of a small animal but thought nothing of it. Critters always came through this clearing and it didn't bother him much. If they didn't bother him, he doesn't bother them.
Ender overheard the conversation, but was still groggy, and hadn’t moved much. He reached his hand over to Hiro’s, taking it in his. He blinked a couple times and rubbed his eyes with his free hand.
Hiro looked to ender when he took his hand. “ Good to see your alive eyes,” he said with a smile
He leaned against him, comforted by his voice. “…..mornin’, Russki…..”
Hiro laughed slightly at the new name. The scales that had appeared when agens appeared had gone away as soon as eyes had woken up. “ is your hand okay? I'm sorry I didn't ask last night, I was too tired to realize your hand had gotten pretty close”
He nodded, laughing a little. “Better than okay.” Ender squeezed his hand a little.
Hiro squeezed his hand back. “ that's good. “ he said with a smile. He looked out over the sky, while the nice sky had only lasted so long before a few dark clouds had rolled in. The smell of rain was starting to become strong.
