The boy is laughing, and Malik’s face turns up in a matching grin. He is a happy child by nature, and the worried feathers that had risen along his crest start to settle again. The starlight glitters in their iridescent black depths, and the soft sliver of moon overhead is just enough to reveal that the stranger is a colt no older than Malik himself.
“Yeah it’s pretty deep up there!” He replies with a nod. He’s going to say something else when something flies between himself and the thin moon, and Malik falls quiet.
The griffon has said nothing, but Malik calls him a ’Spoilsport’ for the reminder of caution that his parents had given him. He’d been hopeful that his companion would sleep while he sneaked down to the lake, but there’d been so such luck.
“Do you live here too? My mom said there’d be other kids here soon but you’re the first one I’ve seen other than Anath, and she’s only here because my dad let me keep her.” Malik is rather talkative, and he hopes that the other boy will come down from the rocks. He looks different (and for a boy whose parents cannot choose shape that is significant) and Malik is intrigued.
