Eleazar hung up the receiver of the phone, after he had finished speaking with the admins of the dorms, informing them the missing student had been found, safe and unharmed. He looked over to the boy sitting at the bench on the other side of the room seemingly in thought. They'd found him in the woods after hours of searching, minding his own business and thankfully out of harm's way which led to Eleazar guessing he only ran off on his own. The shade could only guess why on earth would have run off. He was sure it was reported in the possibility that he'd ended up a casualty on the darker depths of the island, but on the other hand, he just found out that the elf might have a history of skipping school and disappearing altogether for hours at a time since he'd arrived on the island. This marked the longest he'd been gone, apparently, which to no surprise, had now ended up raising some alarm to the dorm's staff enough to alert the police. Soundlessly, he went towards the young elf who seemed to pay him to attention until he'd finally been addressed. "Someone from the dorm will pick you up shortly, you should stay here until then," Eleazar told him. A quiet pause; a sigh, "I was just informed you been missing school and this was a consistent pattern. Is there anything you should be telling your dorm parents about?"

So far, Aeron was not enjoying being on the island. He couldn't understand why people would not just leave him alone. Back in the forest, he was free to do whatever he liked but now he was restricted by rules. A school was not where he belonged, feeling safer in the woods. It reminded him of home; a quiet, private place to be alone with his thoughts and care for himself, not rely on others for his needs like everyone else seemed to. Everything was right in front of them to just purchase from stores.

The concept of school for him seemed pointless. He did not know about what they were teaching and did not understand why he would ever need to know it in everyday life. After years of sleeping in trees, a bed just didn't even seem comfy to him. Like Aeron had done so many times before since he arrived, he ran away from the academy, Fenrir along side him.

Of course, then they had to come looking for him. They couldn't just leave him be. Telling the warg to run off ahead of him, Aeron ran in the opposite direction in an attempt to lose his pursuers, though they eventually caught up. Now, he was sat on a bench with a man looking down on him. Aeron met the man's gaze and said nothing, maybe for a little too long. Eventually, his quiet words escaped his lips. "I do not want to be here."

Eleazar waited patiently for his response, wanting not to be any more demanding on the child who evidently didn't want to be bought back into the city. "Here?" he echoed, a bit confused of his response. A bit vague, isn't he? "You don't want to be on the island, is that it?" he asked, a bit unsure of his own claim. "Or just school?" he corrected himself. The shade's brows furrowed slightly, "Is there anything wrong? Someone bothering you?" he asked, concered. There can only be so many reasons why anyone wouldn't want to be anywhere -- Eleazar just couldn't understand if the boy only spoke in short answers.

Aeron contemplated the thought for the moment. It wasn't exactly that he didn't like the island. In fact, it was a rather beautiful place; beautiful when the hideous buildings and transportation were out of sight. It was more the fact that he was being forced to stay somewhere completely alien to him. He was simply not used to having walls surrounding him, constraining him. Outside, he was free to roam without restriction.

Only, now there seemed to be a restriction on that too. "I do not like school," he replied. "The people are nice but I just..." His voice trailed off as he felt that this stranger wouldn't understand. Who could? For years he never even saw a glimpse of another person and now he was surrounded by them. He felt alone in a crowd.

"Please do not bring me back there." His gaze no longer met the stranger's. Maybe if he the man would get distracted, Aeron could try and get away yet he considered that highly doubtful. There were many people in the building and it would likely end in the same situation as he was in at that moment, if not worse.

Eleazar held back what he figured would have come out as a laugh when the boy responded to his question, in favor of not seeming like he was making fun of the idea that the boy didn't like school. Because really, he couldn't think of anyone who said they genuinely liked school. The Shade waited for him to say more but the boy's voice only trailed off into silence, leaving Eleazar a little more than puzzled than he already was. There was something he didn't know and it was frustrating him. The boys next words weren't much of a surprise, but all he could offer to him was a sigh. "You're... going to have to go back there, you know," he told the boy, finding no other words to console him. From the information he received, the boy had no family on the island -- or off the island really, and it was only the school adminisatration that was looking after him. Really, he didn't have a lot of options on the plate. Kneeling in front of the boy, he tried to reach to him again when he spoke. "Look, I can tell you have something going on, and we'd really want to help you if you could tell us what's wrong. Is being in the school a bit too overwhelming, is that it? Tell me."

Aeron's gaze stayed on the ground, not meeting the man's eyes. From what he could tell, the officer seemed like a very nice person yet he did not know this man. He was a stranger so why would he just want to help? There may be possible underlying motives for what he could get out of the situation. However, the way he talked suggested otherwise; calm, caring and considerate.

Finally, the elf's eyes looked upon the cop's face as he knelt down in front of him. "I do not need to know what they try to teach me." In his opinion, a lot of what they talked about in lessons had no importance. They were no benefit to him. All he wanted to know were ways that he could help sustain himself, to live and eat. Nothing else really mattered as long as he was fully capable of surviving.

"I am not used to..." he began, gesturing to his surroundings. "...all this. Machines and ugly buildings. It is... wrong." The forest was a place he knew and loved but the city was like a completely different world. People would just happily go about their day, polluting and destroying nature. It was not the way it was intended. His eyes met the officer's, a sense of longing and loneliness within them.
