Quri

Walking around was a nightmare.

Small trees were knocked over and a few small children were in low caves, either injured or scared.

I went up to some of them and gave them some hope and got them up, and the rest I hugged to see if I could get them warm.

Once all of them were up and out, determined to find their parents, I watched them go, but one didn't leave.

They looked sad.

'Hey, what's wrong friend?' I said, looking in his eyes from above.

'I don't have a family.' He said, returning the gaze,

'Oh shit there's a kid with no parents here what the fuck.'

'Oh. Hm.. wanna come with me?' I said, not thinking.

'Really?!' He said, bouncing on the cobblestone underneath him.

'Yeah, I don't have any reason to not have you there with me, not like anything can go wrong.' I said, giving him a sideways glance.

'Sigh, I have always wanted to have a home!' He bounded around looking adorable.

Honestly he was a lot like Alexandrine, but like a male, and a kid.

Alexandrine had black hair that looked purple like a raven, and the kid had the same hair.

Alexandrine was 16, like me, but this kid looked around 8

Alexandrine had blue eyes like diamonds, and this kid did too.

'Heya, what's your name bub?' I asked.

'Alexander.' He said, looking sly and proud.

Alexandrine and Alexander. 

'Hmm, you remind me of my friend.' I smiled.

'Ooh, who are they?' He asked curiously.

'Her name is Alexandrine, she has hair and eyes exactly like yours.'

'Ooh,'

'Hey do you like cobblestone?' I asked randomly

'A little,' Alexander said.

'Hm.'

They were now walking to the house Quri began in.

And Eragon was in the front of the house talking to 3 or 5 other people.
