EDMUND
The praise makes Edmund giggle, the excitement of this discovery filling him with joy. When Sunjata mentions going home, a wave of exhaustion rolls over the child, "Ok." Barely stifling a yawn, he holds his hands up in a blatant request. He'll take that piggyback ride for sure.
Curled up against Sunjata's back, warm and safe, it's hard for Edmund to stay awake. The gentle rocking motion of the man's steps does him in, and with a final nuzzle into the man's shoulder and a "T'anks Uncle Jata", the child is fast asleep. Once home is in sight and Edmund has been roused from his nap, he'll give Sunjata a small wave and a tired smile before making his way to bed for a proper nap.

I never realized how beautiful
Fires burn under the stars
Fires burn under the stars
