the earth has music for those who listen
Mateo very much wants to visit nonna vai in the boschi, but unfortunately he's not able to continue the conversation in the travelling tongue or otherwise, because here he is being swept away and nommed on by his beast of a father. "Da, nooo! He cackles his protest, wiggling around but of course being unable to do anything with Remi's arms around him and his ear being devoured.
"They didn't run away! They had help, Da," he continues, pointing at where the rocks have scattered due to Mateo dropping them when he fell. "I was being their legs, see? I helped." Because apparently that is the boy's role, when running from predators. To self-sacrifice and help. "And we all made it, because you are bigger and scarier than any other predator, right?"
