"It's just some boy in a fur coat.. What's up with him?" John watched as the newcomer scampered up to them, sniffing them all over. "Um, hi there.. You lost or something little guy?"
The brown haired boy didn't respond, simply tilting his head at his question. "I don't think he understands English. He looks like some kind of feral child."
"Feral child?"
"Y'know, like those people who were raised by animals until they're brought to society. But the only wild animals here are dragons, they would have eaten him ages ago.."
"Unless there's something we don't know about them, we haven't had a dragon attack in years, decades even. The king's probably just paranoid that they might come, but they never do."
Looking back at the feral boy, John and Stu saw him crawl deeper into the woods. "Hey! Where's he going?"
"Unless there's another town just beyond the woods, he'll be dead me-" Stu was interrupted by thunderous footsteps approaching them. Looking up, the boy returned with three more dragons.
"Ummmm... Hello there... Um... Nice dragons.."
To their surprise, the dragons seemed to be just as curious as the boy. The smallest dragon of the trio was even nuzzling him. "Are they.. His family? What's going on here?"
Luckily, the dragons knew perfect English and were able to explain everything to the two squires. Although that doesn't explain why the feral boy didn't say a word until now.
The boy doesn't seem to know he's human, but thinks there's something familiar about how John and Stu look, time to bring them to their village and find a translator.
