Trick or treat! :] (for the writeblr Halloween event)
You got...
...a TREAT! (It IS pass-out-candy-day, yes?)
Have a snippet from the as-of-this-time unnamed Azzie meeting Eureka for the first (?) time!
"Do you know why you were there? Do you remember anything that happened yesterday?"
He shook his head slowly. What did the man know, and how could he ask?
He must have looked troubled because the man started petting his ears again. It was oddly soothing. If he tried really hard to ignore the pain, to only think about how every stroke over his ears made his muscles relax and his stomachache ease, he might even fall asleep. He studied the man's face, looking for hidden meanings in his expressions the way he did with Evanne.
The man's face was torn in half. At least, it had been at some point. A long scar cut a jagged path from his right brow to his left jaw, taking a chunk of his nose out along the way. A smaller scar marked his right jaw, and part of his right ear was missing, too. Yet the man's eyes were kind, filled with sincere concern. Something about their color struck a chord in his head that broke through the haze.
Blue-green. Sea green. Like the ocean.
"You want to see the ocean, don't you, child?"
He remembered everything.
