"I know..." He whispered as his shoulders slumped. He knew in his mind.. but his mind didn't hurt as much as his heart. and logic didn't help with feelings at all! "I know but.... I'll just.. keep searching. She is strong. She ... she can survive the jungle." He told himself, trying to convince his heart that just because he couldn't find her didn't means he wasn't there.
He stood up and gave a nod to Kelina. "I'm.. going to go search again. Maybe one day I'll wander by here again and will see you and your family." Maybe.. when it didn't hurt anymore.
With that he turned and slipped off into the jungle. Climbing silently up into the canopy then out into the wilderness to begin his search all over again.
