ROANA
I can hardly wait
to see you come of age.
Jax looked a little taken aback when the pumpkin hid, frowning. He had just wanted to be friends! But Melita held out the living gourd and showed him where to scratch, and the boy did so gently. ”It’s okay, little punkin. I just wanna be your friend.” Jax said quietly. ”Do you wanna catch the sun with me and my brothers? It’ll be fun!” the boy said, still determined to win the favor of Fangorn.
”No, not long at all. It’s a good afternoon project.” Roana said, shaking her head at Melita’s question. ”Then you really just need to leave it out to let sunlight get into it, but the boys wanted to actually chase the sun of course.” she said with a light laugh. ”That one is Jax, that’s Rhett, and then Cormac. Boys, say hello to Miss Melita.” Roana said, pointing out each boy with his respective name. ”Hi, Miss Melita!” They all said in unison.

But I guess we'll have to be patient,
'cause it's a long way to go.
