I somehow managed to get a little sleep before sunrise. Upon waking, I looked over and found Sember already gone, probably on her daily run. Remi, however, was just sitting up, yawning. His hair spiked up in hilarious directions.
“You know how Galen likes to tell people you’re half monkey?” I looked directly at his hair. “I think it’s more like half porcupine.”
“Ha-ha.” He looked up as if he could see his own hair and began some frantic finger-combing. “Better?”
I thought about Fen’s armor-banded head, and how he never had hair problems. I’d miss him if I left.
“Hello!” Remi waved at me. “Is it better or not? I don’t want to look like a large, spiky rodent in front of people I barely know.”
I glanced at him distractedly. “Yeah, it’s fine.”
I’d definitely miss Foresthome and my friend
