Both of them stared at each other for a tense minute before Cypress turned away and began walking down the trail towards the town. They walked on the outskirts until they got around to the other side of the woods. When it finally got dark they stopped at small clearing and laid out some leaves to lay on. Hey Lee said eventually I'm sorry that I said all that earlier I was being insensitive. It's fine Cypress said I'm sorry that I screamed and swore at you. You're good Lee replied laying on his leaf pallet is it okay if I ask you some questions you don't have to answer if you don't want. Only if can ask some too Cypress said laying down across from him. Alright then Lee said what else can you do other than heal things. I can control water and breathe it too I also have acidic saliva Cypress explained, but you already knew that. Oh that's cool Lee said intrigued, anyway where exactly are we headed. To my hometown Cypress said it'll be safer there. What happened to your parents Lee asked. Well one left when I was really little and the other abandoned me when I was twelve Cypress said, I spent two years on my own and then the government found me and I spent five years with them. Um... You may not... This is kinda...uh... What... What did they do to you while you were in the labs Lee asked nervously. I can show you in the morning Cypress said but if you just want to see my body all you have to do is ask. Lee rolled his eyes. Alright well I'll talk to you in the morning he sighed turning over and almost immediately fell asleep. Cypress sighed and brushed the small scars on his freckled skin. I really hope I'm doing the right thing he whispered looking up at the stars before falling asleep.
