Summary
“I just haven’t been hungry. It happens sometimes.”
“Well, everything happens. There’s always a reason for it though.” He pauses. “What is your reason?”
Caduceus also had a way of prying the truth from someone so gently they didn’t know anything was being pried at all; or in Fjord’s case, so gently that they didn’t mind at all.
It reminded him of the Wildmother; her gentleness, her care and soft touch.
Guilt started to swell in Fjords chest. He looked even further away, staring at the tree.
“Did something happen?” Caduceus asked, noticing the change. “Uk’otoa?”
“No, I’d tell you if something happened.” That much was true. Fjord trusted Caduceus when it came to Uk’otoa, trust that had been proven time and time again.
Caduceus kept smiling gently at Fjord, waiting. Fjord finally looks at him and sighs, sinking further into the grass. “I was thinking about him though. Uk’otoa. And Avantika.”
“Ah.” Caduceus clicks his tongue. “That’s only natural. It was a lot that had happened. Anything specific you were thinking about? Or is it just, lingering emotions?”
OR- Fjord is feeling a lot of emotions about his past. Caduceus is there to talk him through it.
