Sah
Only in the dark
of night
Sah and Ilma shared a glance. The elder looked disappointed but Sah was pleased. "Told you that she wouldn't believe it." His voice was smug, and Ilma scoffed at her daughter. "Can't even tell a lie from the truth." Sah simple sighed and smiled sheepishly at Aino again. "It's actually true. Your mom was the one who taught me how to read and write. And well, how to mostly pass for human. If you hadn't realized, then I guess she's doing a good job." The old woman gave a self-satisfied nod when the Outlander stopped speaking. of night
Ilma then held a hand out to Sah, making a grabby motion. The Outlander gave her his hand as prompted, and the woman wrapped her fingers around his wrist. She made a tsking noise. "See this Aino? Too skinny!!! I bring the boy a casserole a day and he's still a twig! I had to step in! Keeping this boy alive is a part time job!"
Sah simply sighed and ignored her complaints. "I eat them. I promise." His voice was tired, having had this argument many many times. "And yes, I went to the Greatwoods. Thanks for telling me about Vai. She was really helpful with her advice. And her companion Coco is so sweet. I almost stole her. But I did come home with a wolf." He explained. "A wolf companion. I didn't just kidnap a wild wolf." Sah quickly reiterated at the elder's raised brow.
Sah glanced back at Aino for back up, as Ilma was still holding his wrist and making noises of displeasure. Sah was afraid he was going to get another lecture.
