Summary: Urek tries to give Bam a heartfelt speech
The Wolhaiksong base was busy as they prepared for their next move.
Urek took a sip of his soda and looked away from the bustling group of people to the small boy across him. Well, he wasn’t so small anymore, definitely a man now, but he was still… tiny.
“Bam, baby,” he called and Bam turned to him, a can of milk tea still against his lips.
“With great power comes great responsibility, you know. Don’t forget what your goals are, but don’t let them blind you.”
Bam blinked and nodded as he gulped. Urek sighed. He wasn’t getting his point across, was he?
“What I mean is, the Family Heads took their strengths to an extreme because they felt like they needed to. I’m saying you don’t need to. You don’t see me flaunting my strength around, do you? I’m—Hey!”
Bam’s eyes had gone wide, pupils dilating like a cat’s, and he took off past Urek in the middle of his important speech. He turned around to see what would be more captivating than him and he found the boy running into the arms of his Lightbearer. A fierce hug later, they were standing close, grinning and talking, the rest of their surroundings forgotten.
Urek, forgotten.
He pouted, but then reconsidered. The boy had something the family heads didn’t. Loyalty. Purpose. Love. As long as Bam didn’t forget those things, he wouldn’t become a heartless monster like the Family Heads.
Urek knocked back his soda and slammed the can against his forehead, crushing it before tossing it in the recycle bin.
He decided to go find someone else to bother and leave the two boys to themselves.
