Chapter 16:
Further Tales From The UnderCurrent (Short Story Prequel Series)
Dear Dairy,
He finally came over!
It's been almost a month since we asked him to, but Guy really did come for dinner.
In fact he's been much healthier looking these last few weeks - I've seen him on lots of walks around the woods and the fields and town.
He waves at people again, if a little sheepishly - It's kind of cute to see a grown-up acting shy, though the Elder said I shouldn't say such mean things.
I've come across Guy a few times now on the side of the river or sitting on big boulders - Just kind of looking out at stuff.
I don't really get it all, grown-ups get sick for reasons that I don't quite understand. The Elder's wife says I will when I'm older - But I'm glad anyways!
Sometimes I sit with him and we just stare at the sky. If its making him feel better then I don't mind if he spends the whole year staring at the sky!!
We got an assignment at school, its about an essay around an adult who we admire - We've done one like it before but this time, well maybe I could ask Guy, he might even tell me his name and stuff - Oh and maybe when his birthday is too!
We could have a big party to make up for him missing my birthday and St.Aardig's day!!
Then again maybe asking him stuff like that is what makes him so sad?
I guess I'll see what Scar or Miss.Mar Miss.Elder thinks first.
Then again does Guy even have birthday's where he's from? Elder says birthdays weren't really a thing before we came to the town - Maybe Guy's never heard of one?!
Oh, I'm being called for dinner so I better go, I'll write again tomorrow.
-Tamai.
