Back when helping Qifrey prepare for the outside world, Olruggio told him one of the things he needed was a smile. But in these conditions he's having a hard time smiling at all. He just feels... lost all over again. Maybe it's starting to show in his face.
An adult kindly bought him a kebab, which he'd requested not have any of the vegetables on it. It's a kind of meat he's never had before. He's huddled up on an otherwise empty bench, knees to his chest, gnawing at the food quietly with his cap sitting beside him. Qifrey's staring at that massive tree in the center of it all, thinking.
The shadow of someone falls over him suddenly. He looks down at their shoes, hoping that maybe if he ignores them they'll go away. Doesn't seem to be working, so he looks up.
"Please leave me alo..." Wait, is this guy a witch? And why's he look so familiar? "...ne."
The boy looks away again and picks at a stray thread on his robes.
"I'm fine."
