"Milo!" The Lamb called as to him, "Great work on the farm!"

Milo smiled, "Oh, thank you, great leader! Back in my village, we farmed all the time so it just comes naturally!"

The Lamb smiled, "Yes, yes, I can tell, you do great, anyways, let me cut to the chase, that's not why I'm here. Could you come with me for a second?"

Milo lifted his head up, "Sure, leader!" Milo got up and dusted the dirt off as he followed The Lamb, who took him to...a bush?

"Hey, get up..." The Lamb crouched down to the bush's level and shook it. It bit him, "Ow!" The Lamb pulled away, and Milo jumped.

"My lord, it bit you!" Milo yelled.

"I'm fine...they're just...upset." The Lamb sighed, "Milo, I need you to watch over him. He's new...and...blind. I, um...found him in Darkwood; he was attacked by heretics. Still a little...frazzled, so take care of him."

Milo nodded, "Of course, leader!" Milo crouched down to the bush's level as The Lamb got up.

"Alright, oh, and Milo."

"Yes?"

"If he does anything that harms you or others, tell me." The Lamb said, a serious look on their face.

Milo nodded, "Alright."

As The Lamb left, Milo turned his attention to the bush, "Hey there," Milo spoke softly, "I'm Milo. Are you afried?"

"Fuck off," the bush said.

"Oh...little hostile...but that's fine..." Milo extended a hand, "What's your name?"

The bush hissed, "I don't need your hospitality! I am the god of...of.." the bush sniffed Milo's hand.

Milo raised an eyebrow, "Um...what are you doing?"

The bush soon pulled away, "I know you...."

Milo's eyes widened, "You do? Have...Have we met?"

"You smell...familiar...what was your name?"

"Um...M-Milo...and yours?"

The bush thought, "Milo...Milo...." it then froze, "Milo....the one who fed me...we met in the wood outside your town...you gave me..berrys."

Milo tilted his head as he thought, "Wait...you're Leshy?"

Leshy gave him a wide grin, "The one and only!"

Milo smiled, "Oh, sweet leader! I never thought I would see you again!"

Leshy seemed to ease up a bit, "Me neither. So, how'd you end up in a cult, especially... The Lamb's?"

Milo frowned, "Well...my village kinda...got...ambushed by...heretics...and The Lamb took me in."

Leshy frowned, "Oh...I...see..." he looked away, looking ashamed, making Milo a little confused; why was Leshy so...upset?

"You...ok?" Milo asked.

Leshy snapped out of his shame, "Yeah! I'm fine! We got a lot of catching up to do!"

"Leshy...I'm...over here," Milo said. Leshy was facing the wrong way.

Leshy turned to the right, "Here?"

"To the left," Milo said.

Leshy turned to the left, "Speak not of this..." he muttered.

Milo laughed, "At least you didn't bump into a tree this time."

Leshy crossed his arms, "Shut it..."

"So...want me to show you around?" Milo asked.

Leshy shrugged, “I guess you have to, huh?”
