“Start… here… its tradition. You could go the other way, but it… there is tradition.”
He pushed the smooth stone against his own side to make Llyr follow along and touched Llyr in return, tickling his fingers against the taller boil’s side.

“… just like that… You’re supposed…to take the heart still beating, it’s like a bird they say.” He whispered.
