Once in a while, Ebvion would look back to see if their mom was still there and watching them. There was a sense of pride in having Celeste smile upon them playing well with other kids. It meant they were behaving well. That they were finally doing something "right" in this confusing world.
That sense of pride soon faded as Ebvion felt unknown eyes watching them. Initially, they ignored it, thinking those eyes were for another child. And then they kept staring. And staring. And staring. And Ebvion couldn't help but look back at the tall woman who, despite looking directly at Ebvion, seemed focus on something else.
Was she one of those creepy bad people Ebvion had to watch out for? The ones who sometimes put weird things in candy? Most people on this island were very kind to Ebvion, so that seemed doubtful, but this woman was very interested in them for some reason.
"Um... H-Hello." Their tone started off unsure but quickly picked up in confidence as they continued. All the while, Ebvion resisted looking to Celeste for assistance. Whatever the problem was here, they could handle it, because they did nothing wrong.
"I am Ebvion of the Danaus Court... Who might you be?"
