Hello, Garrett. What are you reading?

A cool book about tigers.

Oh that sounds like a very interesting book.

You can read it when I'm done.

Thank you, I would like that very much. Have you had a nice day? *Sits down next to him.*

*nods* Yes its been great.

That is very good, you have had dinner?

Yeah I fed myself.

Is there anything you need then?

I think I have everything I need for now. *smiles* Have you had a good day?

*Shakes her head slightly.* No, it has been a very sad day, but it is nothing to worry about.

Oh I'm sorry.

It is alright, I am happy to have you with me, I must count my blessings. *Touches his hair lightly.*

I'm happy to be here with you.

*Chuckles slowly.* One day you will grow up and you will find that there are other places you would rather be.

Why do you think that?

Because that is the way things work. You will grow bored with the mountain, and you will find a beautiful girl to fall in love with.

I'll never be bored of the mountains and I hope I don't fall in love. The book said tigers don't stay with any of their mates or cubs. What if I'm like that as a man?

You hope you do not fall in love, why not? Love it a very beautiful thing. If you are like that as a man, then you will be like Grady.

I want to be a good man not leave someone I love. *frowns* He does that?

*Considers for a moment.* I think if you love someone, and they love you, there will be a compromise. Grady is a very good man, he loves in a different way, and he loves many women.

Is that what makes you sad?

Yes, sometimes. He loved me some time ago, but it did not last. He still holds a place in my heart.

*nods*

If I were you, I would not worry about relationships. You have so many years to figure out love.

That reminds me, do you plan on going to school?

I don't know. I should shouldn't I?

I think you should, it is important to have a good education so you can get a good job.

Ok, I'll go.

We will have to find you a school, all the ones around here speak Japanese.

*nods* Ok.

I could take you to a school in the states, if that would be okay?

I can go to school there but only be there for school right?

Only for school, I will drop you off and pick you up. I will not make you stay there. Are you worried about that?

Only a little.

Why are you worried?

*shrugs a little*

You should tell me, if I do not know, how can I protect you?

I just worry that sometime you'll get tired of having to take care of me.

*Her eyes widen and she touches his cheek.* Do not say that, I will not tireof you.

Promise.

Yes, I promise. *Opens up her arms.* allow me to hug you?

*hugs her*

*Holds him close and strokes his back gently.* Do not worry.

*nods hugging her*
