"Is that why he can't talk?" Balloon asked me, "Thankfully not, he just speaks differently then you two, but it did leave an impact," I told them sadly. "Thanks for helping us, by the way," I told the two.

"No problem, you two defiantly need help," balloon said as I was trying to not get emotional. "Hay wait," suitcase suddenly said I looked at her and asked "what is it?"

"I just realised, have you even left this place since the insadince," suitcase asked "N-no, I just let Basey go out," I Stuttered out,  "So you just going to live your hole life in hear?" Balloon asked.  

"Well maybe, I've been hear since I was 11 and I wanna say now I'm 25. Everyday Is the same, I wake up, wait hear for basey to come back from hunting, eat whatever he brought back, talk for an hour or 3, then go to sleep, repeat," I told them, then I continue "the only time it changes is on my birthday,  he doesn't even want something for him, only me. On the 2nd of December he always sings me songs and tells me story's about the outside world, even if he nearly die trying to get me the story's."

"Wow, that's, something," balloon said rubbing the back of his head, "what do you usually eat then?" Suitcase asked. "Eh, bugs, berry's, dead animals, coal, sometimes nuts, mostly nothing," I told them.

"That's, terrible, how have you not starved to death?" Balloon asked me, fidgeting his fingers. "When we don't have enough food, basey let me eat it as he starves," I told them rubbing the giant scare on my leg.

"If you want, we could bring you food," suitcase told me, "Is that ok with you two?" I asked them, ''it would be nice, if basey didn't have to leave,'' I thought to myself. "It would be alright for us, but don't expect a five course meal everyday," suitcase joked witch made me laugh a little.

"Thanks," I told them, "Can I ask a question?" Balloon asked, "What is it?" I asked them. "Did you have any other friends?" Balloon asked.  

I sighed and told them "Me and basey had two friends named torch and crystal ball. Crystal ball or CB as we called her loved the woods, flowers, animals and loved flying with her harpy wings, she was a harpy meaning that she had wings but besides that was a human."

I then continue "Torch was a jack-a-lop-person meaning he was a normal person with rabbit ears and antlers. He loved gold and had a golden arm. He also was kind and worked at a soup kitchen."

"They sound kind," suitcase said rubbing her weirdly gray arm. "They were," I said to them. "What do you think happened to them?" Balloon asked me. "At best, Crystal ball is probably hidden in the woods and for torch he probably hid his ears and antlers to pretend to be a normal person, maybe even start a family."  

"I'm sure they miss you," Balloon said trying to make me feel better which he did. "Thanks, but I think that its time for you to go, you probably have to go now," I told them. "Ya, its probably been two hours at this point," balloon said getting up.   

The two then left, now it was me and basey. I sighed, sat down in the nest, and thought ''Why are they being so nice to me? Why do they care? What is the outside world even like these days?'' As I was thinking I saw something in the sticks and I pulled it out, it was a photo of Basey, torch, crystal ball and me when I was ten. I miss those days.
