in the jungle, the quiet jungle

Paige

She already knew he wasn't Attuned. Otherwise she would have felt his emotions, but given that there was a distinct lack of anything, Paige knew that wasn't it. Not that she realized he was an Ascended. She'd only ever met one. Hopping down into his hand, Paige allowed herself to be placed back on the ground, shifting into her normal form to sit cross-legged in front of him. "My momma is working." She said with a shrug.

As for looking for something in particular? She was. A friend. A companion. "I was looking for a pet!" Because the jungle was obviously a good place to find one in the child's mind. Did racoons even live in the jungle? Paige didn't know.

Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
They count me out time and time again
