He's sitting against a tree, his head back, looking at the leaves in the dark. For him, even the labyrinth is warm. The snow outside is something he likes above these trees, above most other things. But not above his best friend.

Laying next to him, head resting on his broad shoulder, lies someone he would never exchange for the snow.

He'd rather spent one more day with him than forever be able to live in the cooling, calming snow.

They're the very best of friends.

But only a few hours before, they had a fight...

It started right after they got away from that water serpent.

Len was silent for a long time as they stood there, all five of them, looking at each other trying to understand what just happened.

He was the only one not looking around, but at his feet.

When Bakaito sunk to his knees, tired and hurt from the attack just now and the one before that, Rinka sat next to him, whispering cooing words.

Bakaito felt bad, anyone could have told you that by just looking at him.

But what he felt bad for, Rinka didn't notice. But he had, and Len had, even though the boy had stayed quiet and unmoving.

To be honest, he had felt bad too...

For not listening. He had promised the old man to always listen to the smaller boy, no matter what. "If you don't, you will have to pay the prize."

That's what he had said.

Now he knows the prize, the full one.

At first he figured the initial attack was the prize. After all, he hadn't listened to the boy when he said they shouldn't stay the night at that lake.

Looking back it even made sense. The place most animals gather once they wake up, is a place where there's water.

When he wakes up everyday he wants to drink something as well, it all made sense.

Then, why didn't he notice?

Why hadn't he noticed the alarming tone in the small one's voice? Nor the way his eyes kept shifting over to the water or the way he had kept his staff as close as he possibly could?

He had even told them. The boy had said it. And he had never listened.

He was angry with himself more than anything. It was his turn in the guard too, when it happened.

And he hadn't noticed they were under attack until Len had screamed from the top of his lungs.

He was angry with himself, and that was the trigger for the boy's behaviour.

Bakaito had once asked him if he knew that the boy was an empath.

He had said he doubted that to be true, but the boy had always known just how he felt. So, once again he was proven wrong this night.
