“It’s fine!” He replied catching up

(:3) When they finally got there Mallory lit up some candles for heat and began cooking.

"Would you like something to drink?" she asked turning towards him.

“Do you have any apple juice?” He asked.
(Niehehehe apple juiceeeee)

(How many apple juices have you stole already this year?)
"I do, I just made some Monday." Mallory went to the fridge and got out a carton of apple juice.

“Yay!” He cheered.
(About a hundred, I’d guess)

(SIGHHHHHHH)
Mallory poured him a glass and went back to cooking. "Do you have any hobbies you enjoy." she tried to make conversation to know more about the little boy.

“I like fighting animals and umm exploring I guess. I don’t do much.”

"Exploring sounds fun though. I have to work a lot so I don't have any time for fun stuff."

“I’m too young to work and I hate school.”

"You better stay in school, I didn't get to go to school cause I had to work." Mallory jokingly wiggled her finger at him.

“I’ve never been to school and I don’t plan on it.” Tristan said defensively

Mallory shook her head at the boy and returned to the pot roast. "Do you at least know some stuff?" she asked. She learned how to read when she was 6 from her grandma, after she passed away Mallory snuck out to read school books in the library.

“Uh, 2 + 2 = 4? If you’re asking if I can read, then no no I can’t.”

Mallory pursed her lips into a thin line. "Why don't I teach you sometime? Reading is very useful."

“I’m good, I don’t like learning and I have Melanie who every once in a while reads to me and Finn who teaches me how to play his guitar a bit…”

"Well, that's good." Mallory sighed. The pot roast was done. Mallory poured Tristan a bowl and handed it to him. "Eat up!" she sang as she got herself some too.

“Oh thank you! Is this pot roast? Haven’t had that in a few years.” He said spooning the food into his mouth

"It is! I'll pack you some to take with you."

"Oh, thank you, Miss Mallory!" He cheered.

Mallory got flustered when he said Miss. "N-no problem." It was unusual but she guessed that's how the boy was raised.

"So do you have any family here?" He asked.

Mallory's eyes glared at her cup in anger. "Not any I'd call family." she hissed

"Oh…" Tristan looked confused, he hadn't known his parents very well but they were nice people.

Mallory forced a smile. "Umm….what about your family?" she changed the subject
