King Allyn the Autistic
Liam carefully took Mouse from his shoulder in his hands, looking at the creature sulking slightly at just having upset her. "You shouldn't have called her small Mouse, I told you people don't like that, you should go apologise tomorrow." He spoke in a hushed yet slightly strict tone, not wanting to bother anyone. "No, you heard her. I'm tall and scary!" Near the end of his sentence his voice got a bit too loud and proud to be good, his excited hopping returning to his stance. "And she did like your gears, so I think it went pretty good. People usually are scared from you, so maybe if you're nicer you'll get a new friend." With a little spring in his step he returned to his pack at the fire, holding mouse carefully to his chest. For a little while he looked at the flames, sniffling a bit as the smell of Cade's herbs was still lingering in the air.
As he let his head fall sideways, there seemed a small change in the light in his eyes, reaching beyond the initial state of curiosity and turning in the rare event of thought. "I wonder..." His voice trailing into intelligence more than innocence, before he waved his hand in a gentle gesture at the fire. Apparently, whatever he had wondered was right, as the flame flared up blue and swept sideways, as if cut off from the base.
Yet as the embers and coals returned to the original colour of fire, his enthusiasm and innocence had returned in full as well. A little excited giggle bubbling up from inside as he hopped proudly and showed mouse. "Look, I did it!" Followed nearly immediately by a big yawn, and he plopped himself down in the long grass. Lifting Mouse up towards the starry sky, looking the creature over happily, then hugging it tightly. "Sleep well Mouse."
