Trotting purposefully southward, Killian wasn't necessarily thinking about the circumstances that had driven him from his home. Everyone had been very nice, his Uncle Tai had been nothing but supportive (even back when he had demanded to trek up into the mountains to find the source of the lively stream that ran through their camp.) And Bonfire had taken off, so he wouldn't have to see her, and feel sad again.
Nah, he wasn't think at all about those things.
Nope.
Not at all.
Yeah, that's a lie. He admonished himself moodily, before becoming quite aware of the fact that he was hungry.
"Dumb belly." he sighed, only to chuckle when his gut grumbled in response.
"Right, food it is."
