Catch All for November
Characters: Will Stanton and Anyone
Date: Throughout November
Location: Various
Situation: Various
A. Around Town
Will spends much of the first part of the month slowly exploring the parts of Aifaran around the Dreaming Bridge. At the beginning he has to rest often, and is grateful to find quite a few benches and small cafes to rest at. But as the month goes on, he slowly starts to get some of his endurance back, and does not tire quite so easily any more. He finds one of the neighborhood libraries, and spends a lot of time there in the folklore and mythology sections.
B. Seitura Park Arboretum
Towards the end of the month, Will finally finds his way to Seitura Park, where he regards the autumn colors with more than a little delight. He wanders through the arboretum, reading the descriptions of each tree and trying to remember the names to look up later.
C. Astronomy Hour
Will had always liked watching the stars at home. Having grown up in a small town in the country, the stars at night had often been easy to see without the glare from city lights. Upon receiving the invitation to visit an observatory, Will had accepted with great anticipation.
It was disappointing that the night was too cloudy to truly see anything, but Will still wanders around the observatory with great interest. He has many questions about how everything in the observatory works, and asks them of anyone who seems likely to know.
D. For Yuuko
Yuuko's first meeting with Will had left him with much to think about. And with no school or family here, he'd found himself with a great deal of time to think. He often thinks about that certainty he felt that he had forgotten something terribly important. And those few words. On the Day of the Dead, when the year too dies. By Cadfan's Way where the kestrels call. What did it all mean?
And Yuuko... She'd said she'd sensed a power around him. But what power could that be? He didn't think that there was any kind of power or anything remarkable about himself, apart from being the youngest child of a very large family. But she had sounded so convinced. And she didn't seem the type of person to joke about something like that.
He resists for a few weeks, but in the end his questions drive him out in search of Yuuko again.

This last is said wryly. Soon, though, his curiosity gets the better of him. "You must be Dreamfolk, too." Native children of Aifaran would learn its history in school. "Are you here on your own?"
no subject
He listens to the advice with a solemn, thoughtful expression. "Thank you very much for the suggestions. I wasn't quite sure where to start."
no subject
Maybe the boy is just quiet; it's been a while since Devin has interacted with children, or since he was a child himself. He nods. "Yes, there's a system to organize everything, but that doesn't help much when you aren't sure of the ideal point of entry," he agrees, a touch wry. "Books are a good way to learn about a place like this, given how much information and detail we aren't familiar with. Have you been in the city long?"
