Memories

.:Chapter 3:.

Adrian looked down at Luce, seeing him cover his cheek, dark crimson drops slid down pass his sleeve, staining the cream colored shirt below. "So, did you find anything interesting?" He asked, facing forward. "Well I found this white stone for Renoir and just a few stones.." Luce said, as if the cut on his cheek was there. "Can I see it?" Adrian asked, looking at Luce from the corner of his eye. "Sure, just be careful." Luce handed him the white-pearl stone. Adrian looked at it carefully, eyes widening slightly. "When you go back to the forest, set the stone back where you got it.." He said, handing it back to Luce. "Why?" "Because it belongs to Xuotz, that stone represents death or loss, its what some rebel and other villages will place on the grave of a loved one." Adrian quickly explained. "Oh..." Luce sighed, lowering his hand, the cool air stinging the wound, he opened the door and walked inside, seeing the kid he had met in the forest, and another he was unfamiliar but he had brown hair and eyes, his mouth and nose covered by a masked and large goggles on his head. Renoir looked up seeing Luce and jumped to his feet, pushing Adrian out of the way. "Lucd what happened?" Renoir asked, kneeling slightly to look at Luce's face. "What did you do to him!?" He added, looking up at adrian. "Nothing, he probably just fell." Adrian stated, walking over to give Cork his needed herbs. "Fell?! He didn't fall, this is a wound from a blade.." Renoired growled, soon calming as he looked at Luce. "Get patched up and stay away from the outsider, I don't need you hurt again.." Renoir said, giving him a calm smile. Lice nodded, walking over to the herb shelves and grabbing a bandage and Burdock roots, skidding the the hallway to his room. Renoir waited for luce to leave before sitting back down. "You may now continue Zeke." Renoir looked up at the taller male. "Well we've had many sights of this one and a few others taking food and other items from the markets." He said, his voice slightly echoing in his mask.
